Hi Team,
First, thank you for providing these tools to streamline ALM for Power Platform!
I have a scenario where I am using Power Platform Build Tools in Azure DevOps to automate the export and import of a PowerApps Canvas app. The app uses SharePoint Online as the data source (instead of Dataverse). I want to confirm whether the Build Tools tasks, specifically:
...are compatible with PowerApps solutions that include SharePoint as the primary data source.
Details of My Use Case:
Environment:
QA: App connected to a SharePoint Online list in one environment (e.g., QA SharePoint site).
Production: The app will need to point to a different SharePoint Online site (Production SharePoint site).
Pipeline Process:
Export the app from QA as part of a Power Platform solution.
Update connection references dynamically to re-map the SharePoint connection to the Production site URL during the pipeline run.
Import the updated solution into Production.
Key Questions:
Are the Power Platform Build Tools compatible with apps that have SharePoint Online as the data source?
If so, is there a specific configuration required to ensure that SharePoint connection references are correctly handled during the export/import process?
If not, are there any alternative approaches (e.g., CLI or manual steps) recommended for managing solutions that use SharePoint?
I have reviewed the following documentation:
Power Platform Build Tools Overview
Connection References in Power Platform Solutions
However, I couldn’t find a clear statement confirming compatibility with SharePoint as a data source.
