Embedded PowerApps Security Sign In

Hope someone can point me in the right direction.   I have a Power BI report with an  embedded PowerApp that has been working fine until today.  It's a very simple app that takes data from the Power BI report and sends it as an email on the press of a button.  The only thing showing in the app is the button.

 

I updated my iOS (to 12.2) yesterday and now when I open the report on my iPhone the button is replaced by the message "For security reasons, we need you to sign in once more.".  It has a button beneath it that when pressed presents this message "Pop-up blocked - please disable any pop-up blockers to sign in."

 

I had to sign in again when I first opened the report on my iPhone so obviously I lost my cached ID/password with the iOS upgrade.  But I've gone to all three of the browsers and disabled the pop up blocker with no luck.

 

I opened the report in Power BI desktop and saw the same message in the app there as well.  But here it allowed me to log in and see the correct button.  So I saved the report and republished it.  Unfortunately that didn't help.  I've closed the app on my phone to force a refresh of the report and still no luck.  Shut down the phone - no luck

 

I opened Power BI from my browser on my phone and pulled up the report and could see the button.  But of course that was showing the desktop version and not the iPhone view as it does when I open the report using the Power BI app.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi KenSkinner ,

    According to your description, it sounds like more related to powerapp. I'd like to suggest provide more detail information and post to powerapp forum to get better support.

      Thanks, I'll do that.  I wasn't sure whether to post this in Power BI or Power Apps, but you might be right so I'll try over there.  Thanks again for replying.

    Ken, Did you find a solution to this issue.  I have a similar issue - a Power BI report with a embedded PowerApp.  I added it to Teams and it gives the sign in message but no sign in window opens.  The PBI was working until sometime in April 2019.  It works in the web version of Teams but not in our corporate Teams app.

      Hey Anonymous ,

       

      The PowerApp visual team is working on fixing this issue. I hope it will be available soon.

      I will update this forum conversation once the fix will be released.

       

      Thanks, Maya

        Thank you!!

         

        I was going to post this in the PowerApp community as suggested above, but my company hasn't cleared some sort of admin setting and so I was blocked at the moment for posting there.  Saved me the trouble of doing so.  The feature of embedding a PowerApp into my mobile Power BI is a huge plus.  I had just started finding things I could do with that new feature when the error showed up.  Thanks in advance for posting when it's solved.

      Yes - it's back to normal now.  Thank you very much as I can now continue down this path with other Power BI/PowerApps possibilities.

      The issue has recurrred: endless signin required.  The problem resurfaced May 29, 2019 around 3:00 PM US Central Daylight Savings time.  The PBI PowerApp opens properly in the Teams Web browser but not in our local corporate Teams.

        Hey Anonymous ,

         

        Is this related to Power BI Mobile app or to PowerApp?

         

        Thanks, Maya
