For more information see, Troubleshoot "We can’t find any apps for your role" error message.
Error message: Your device configuration is preventing sign-in
If you receive this message it means that your IT administrator is using Microsoft Intune and requires you to sign-in securely using an authenticator app, but your device configuration is blocking the Dynamics 365 mobile app from launching the authenticator app installed on your device. Microsoft authenticator apps are Authenticator and Company Portal. Your company may also use a third-party authenticator app. If you are unsure, ask your IT administrator which authenticator app you should be using and then follow the instructions below.
On iOS and sometimes on Android devices, manually opening (or restarting) your authenticator app on your device before you try to sign-in again from the Dynamics 365 mobile app is enough to fix the issue.
If you are using an Android device and the suggestion above did not work, the steps to resolve the issue are device manufacturer-specific and depend which authenticator app you have installed.
For Huawei and Honor device, do the following:
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:
- Close apps after screen lock
- Applications
- Background applications
Under Manage automatically for 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. This will allow the Dynamics 365 mobile app to launch the app.
For Vivo device, do the following:
- Go to Settings > More Settings > Applications > Autostart.
- Set the toggle switch to ON for the authenticator app.
For other device manufacturers, please email Dynamics 365 Mobile Support at dynmobisup@microsoft.com and include your device make and model, session ID (learn how to find the session ID and logs and quote the error message above.

Error message: The language installed on your company’s system isn’t available on the app. Please contact your system administrator to set up a supported language
Cause: This error will occur if one of the supported languages is not 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 tablets.
Error message: The process assigned to this record is unavailable or has been deleted
If you receive this message for a record which has a non-deleted 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 are not synched.
Event 10001 messages appear in the Event Log when you run Dynamics 365 for mobile.
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.
By design: “—d” added to URL
To improve the reliability of DNS resolutions to Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) organizations, Dynamics 365 for mobile modifies the organization URL used when signing in. When a user signs in, the Dynamics 365 mobile app adds “—d” (two dashes + d) to the URL. For example, if the organization URL is https://contoso.crm.dynamics.com, Dynamics 365 for tablets will change the URL to https://contoso--d.crm.dynamics.com.
If a user needs to retry signing in, they’ll see “—d” in the web address. They can sign in with the modified URL or reset it to the URL normally used.
Redirected URLs do not work when you configure the Dynamics 365 mobile app
URLs that redirect, such as IIS host headers or link-shortening websites such as tinyurl or bitly, do not work when you use the URL in the Dynamics 365 apps web address field with Dynamics 365 mobile during configuration.
For example, an https://www.contosocrm.com host header for a Dynamics 365 apps online website URL that is actually https://crm.contososerver001.com, will not work and will display an error message. To work around this behavior, you must enter the actual web address for the Microsoft Dataverse or Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) organization. When this issue occurs and you have enabled logging, the information logged is similar to the following. Notice that the URLs in lines 2 and 3 are different. That difference indicates a redirected URL.
User entered URL: https://URL_entered
Constructed server URL: https://URL_after_CRMforTablets_processing
HTTP Response location: https://URL_that_the_response_came_from
Data cached for offline viewing remains after the entity is no longer enabled for Dynamics 365 for mobile
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.
Customization changes do not appear in the mobile app
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 any time 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 will be prompted to download it. For more information on how to completely close an app, refer to 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 may be seeing a different form than the one you customized. If you have multiple forms for an entity, you will 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.
Deep links may not open on your mobile device due to email based sign in limitations.
Deep links can only be invoked in the context of the currently opened app. While the mobile app doesn't need to be running at the time the deep link is invoked, you must have been in an app in the same organization when you exited the mobile app. To work around this issue, make sure that you have an app that is in the same organization open on your device when you invoke a link.
Native Android or iOS links are not supported
The Dynamics 365 mobile app does not support universal links on iOS and Android app links on Android.
