Monitor is a tool that offers makers a deep view of what an app does and how it does it by logging all key activities that occur in the app as it runs. You can connect a mobile app session to Monitor to better diagnose and troubleshoot issues faster.
While developing JavaScript web resources for mobile scenarios, you can use your Android device to debug your mobile-specific code and ensure it works as expected. More information: Debug JavaScript in mobile apps on Android.
You're unable to sign in due to issues with the Microsoft Authenticator app.
If you don't have the Microsoft Authenticator app, download the app from the App Store or Play Store and then sign in to Power Apps mobile again.
If you already have the Microsoft Authenticator app installed and you're having sign in issues, then try these steps:
If you get this error messages, it means your company's IT department requires Microsoft Intune or an authentication app to sign in securely. However, your device setup is blocking Power Apps mobile from launching the authentication app that's installed on your device.
Microsoft authentication apps are Authenticator and Company Portal. Your company might use a non-Microsoft authentication app. If you're not sure, ask your IT department or help desk which authentication app to use. Once you have the correct authentication app, then follow the steps below.
Note
Power Apps requires a valid license to sign in. For more information, see Licensing overview.
Sometimes, updating and manually opening the authentication app on your device before signing in to Power Apps mobile can fix the problem. If this doesn't fix the issue, then follow the next steps depending on your device manufacturer and authentication app.
Go to Settings > Battery > App launch.
Note
The App launch menu can have different names depending on the model and the operating version of your mobile device. If you don't see the App launch menu option, then look for one of the following menu options:
Under Manage automatically, on the authenticator app set the toggle switch to OFF.
On the Manage manually screen, ensure that Secondary launch / Can be launched by other apps is enabled. To allow the Power Apps mobile app to launch the app.
If the issue is still not fixed, then try these steps:
The app list in the Power Apps mobile app might appear empty when you lose internet connection before the app list has downloaded. This can happen in any of the following scenarios:
To resolve connection related issues, ensure you remain connected to the internet while the app list is fully downloaded.
iOS device running iOS 14: The Safari browser no longer supports the Pin to Home functionality for Power Apps mobile. You need to use the Siri Shortcuts app to pin an app to the Home screen. For more information, see Use Siri Shortcuts (iOS 14 or later).
iOS 13: You can still use the Safari browser to pin an app to the Home screen. For more information, see Pin an app to the home screen
When you run a canvas or model-driven app on Power Apps mobile, it can reset if the app is using too many resources. If the app uses more resources than are available on your device, the app resets. This is similar to when you visit a large, complex webpage and the web browser suspends the page because it's consuming too much power.
On Android devices, this app restart can look like a crash because the app is closed and the user is taken to the home screen of the device.
If you experience a reset while using a canvas app, contact your app developer, and see Prevent canvas app restarts.
The Power Apps platform doesn't support accessing authenticated URLs, including SharePoint attachments. If you run a Power Apps application in a web browser and it tries to access a SharePoint attachment, it might work if you're signed-in to SharePoint in another tab. This is because web browsers support multiple signed-in users, and sign-ins are valid across browser tabs. However, the Power Apps mobile app isn't a web browser, so doesn't benefit from this browser-based behavior.
The Flow action menu in Power Apps mobile doesn't support flows created in a solution.
When using the Dynamics 365 mobile app, you encounter the following message: Contact your administrator for access to your organizations mobile apps.
To check for recently added apps, select Refresh. If you can’t find your app, change your search criteria and try again.**
For more information go to, Troubleshoot "We can’t find any apps for your role" error message.
Make sure the user has a default security role assigned to them such as Basic. This is in addition to any custom security role assigned to the user. For more information, see Setup overview for mobile apps.
If this message appears when a user starts the mobile app, and then selects the Home button, or Dashboards from the menu, the user likely doesn’t have access to the expected dashboards.
The Flow action menu in Dynamics 365 for phones and tablets app doesn't support flows created in a solution.
Cause 1: The Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) server is down. Verify that the server is on and connected to your network.
Cause 2: Your Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) app version isn't supported. For supported version information, see What's supported.
Cause 3: This error can also occur if you enter an invalid URL. Make sure the same URL you have provided works to access Dynamics 365 apps in your browser on your device.
Cause 1: Verify that your security role includes the Use Dynamics 365 for tablets privilege. See "Required privileges" in Setup overview for mobile apps.
Cause 2: This error can occur if you have a Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) organization and your user hasn't been assigned a license for the organization. If you add a Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) subscription to an existing Office 365 tenant, your user might not have a license assigned.
If the user has the Service Administrator role and you’re able to sign in to on the web app to perform certain administrative actions, but you can’t perform end user tasks, such as creating records (for example, accounts, contacts, and leads) or configuring Dynamics 365 for mobile. When you sign in to the web app, you might notice that not all areas appear within the navigation (for example, Sales and Marketing are missing):
Access the Active users section in the admin center and verify you have a Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Plan license assigned to your user record.
Cause 1: Permissions might not be set properly. See "Required privileges" in Setup overview for mobile apps.
Cause 2: See the following KB article:
An error occurs in the Dynamics 365 app for users in child business units. For more information, see Sorry, something went wrong while initializing the app.
Sample Trace Message for Cause 2:
Error Message:System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Cause: This error occurs if one of the supported languages isn't enabled in Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises). For more information on the supported languages, see Supported languages for Dynamics 365 for phones and Dynamics 365 for tablets.
If you receive this message for a record which has a nondeleted process assigned to it, you should manually synchronize Dynamics 365 mobile app data with Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) app data. Close the mobile app, reopen it, and then choose to download the latest customizations. This procedure forces the mobile app to check for updated customizations. Recently viewed data while you were connected is cached and synched. Record data like Accounts or Contacts aren't synched.
The following event may be recorded multiple times to the Event Log, when Show Analytic and Debug Logs is enabled, on the device where Dynamics 365 for mobile is running. Notice that, by default, Show Analytic and Debug Logs is disabled in Event Viewer and these messages won’t be recorded. More information: Enable Analytic and Debug Logs
Event ID: 10001
Message: SEC7131 : Security of a sandboxed iframe is potentially compromised by allowing script and same origin access.
Verify the source of the messages. If the source is Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises), these events don’t pose a security threat and can be ignored.
In Dynamics 365 for mobile, record data is cached as the user visits the record so the user can access the data when going offline.
This cached data persists after the entity is no longer enabled for Dynamics 365 for mobile (Settings > Customizations > Customize the System > [select an entity] > under Outlook & Mobile, deselect Dynamics 365 for tablets).
To remove the cached data, the user must sign out of mobile app, or the app must be reconfigured or uninstalled.
Cause 1: The customizations (metadata) from Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) organization are cached on your device. The app checks for updated metadata after 24 hours or anytime you reopen the app. For customization changes to become available immediately, you must completely close and then reopen the app. If new metadata is found, you're prompted to download it. For more information on how to completely close an app, see the help for your operating system or reference one of the articles provided:
Windows 10: How do I close an app?
iPad: Force an app to close
Android: How to force close Android apps
Cause 2: You might be seeing a different form than the one you customized. If you have multiple forms for an entity, you see the first form in the form order that you have access to. This is different than the web application where you see the last form you used and have the ability to change between forms.
The Dynamics 365 mobile app doesn't support universal links on iOS and Android app links on Android.
Contact your administrator or help desk and make sure that your user is under Intune app protection policies.

When the Power Apps mobile app is running in the background and a canvas or model-driven app makes a network request, a mobile operating system could deprioritize or cancel this network request. This can cause an error message to appear in the mobile app when it returns from the background.
If you experience a failed network request when the Power Apps mobile app is running in the background, contact your app developer.
New and recently republished apps might not appear in the offline app list right away. To make your app appear in the app list offline, open the app on your device when it's online and keep it open for 1-2 minutes.
