[Feature Inquiry] Support for running Code Apps in Power Apps Mobile

[shaheerahmadch]

Describe the bug

Currently, Power Apps Code Apps cannot be accessed or played via the Power Apps mobile application. Instead, users must open them through a direct URL in a browser.

This creates a significant limitation for enterprise-scale deployments where distributing and managing access via the native Power Apps mobile app is expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create or deploy a Power Apps Code App.
2. Install and open the Microsoft Power Apps mobile application.
3. Attempt to locate or access the Code App within the app.
4. Observe that the Code App is not available.
5. Access the same app via its direct browser URL → it works as expected.

Expected behavior

Code Apps should be:

• Discoverable within the Power Apps mobile application, OR
• Supported for execution inside the Power Apps mobile container (similar to Canvas Apps and Model-Driven Apps)

Actual behavior

• Code Apps are not visible or accessible within the Power Apps mobile app.
• Users must manually open a browser link to use the app.
• No native or centralized deployment method exists for mobile usage at scale.

Screenshots or Error Messages

N/A – this is a platform limitation rather than a runtime error.

Environment information

• Framework, build tool or relevant package used: Power Apps Code Apps (Power Platform CLI / React-based framework)
• Any connection/components: Dataverse, standard Power Platform environment
• Platforms tested: iOS and Android (Power Apps mobile application)

Additional context

We would like clarification on the following:

1. Is support for running Code Apps inside the Power Apps mobile application on the roadmap?
2. If yes, is there any estimated timeline or preview plan?
3. If not, are there any recommended enterprise-grade workarounds?

Current Challenge

For organizations with large user bases (hundreds or thousands of users), the current approach presents challenges:

• Users must manually access apps via URLs.
• Asking users to install PWAs individually via browsers is not scalable.
• Lack of integration with enterprise distribution tools (e.g., Intune / Company Portal).

Requested Guidance

We are looking for:

• Any supported workaround for centralized deployment (e.g., via Intune, managed apps, or similar approach)
• Best practices for distributing Code Apps to large user bases
• Any alternative approach that aligns with enterprise mobility strategies

Thank you for raising this feedback.

Mobile player is not something that we support at this time as listed in the limitations here. It is in our backlog of items with no current ETA or plan.

This Issue will be converted to a Discussion to facilitate broader visibility and community support. All existing context will be retained.

Please feel free to continue the conversation in the Discussion thread.

Hello, This request is one of the major blocker to move out of Canvas Apps in favor of Code Apps.
Any chance it has been prioritized ?

Same topic, is there a plan to support Wrapping for CodeApps ?
