Developer Mode - Timeline before GA
Idrissshatila Thanks for the app. The roadmap doesn't look like it extends far enough into the future. Any thoughts on how long the GA might take (tentative guesses)? Lets make it a multiple choice question. The answer is : one, two, three, four, or five years. You can even select two of these as your guess.
Also, do you think that the Power BI team would offer to take support cases for projects via CSS, even if the functionality is still in preview? I don't know how bad a bug might actually get . I suppose the worst possible case would be that the project stops opening in the PBI desktop, and I would then have to create a pbix from scratch and copy/paste all the text-encoded contents of the project back into the pbix report. I could lose about a day per document, but I suppose it isn't the end of the world, right? Am I missing any other risks?

Vote for my Community Mobile App Idea 💡So you think they support "preview" functionality? That is encouraging.
The PG is certainly not going to share any ETA's. Anything that is further out than 3 months is probably not discussed. I just wanted to to get a sense of how long we might wait, from the long-term members of this community.
The developer mode (aka Power BI Desktop projects) is still in preview, with no GA in sight.

There are occasional updates from the product team, but no GA:(June 13, 2024 update)
Update: Another six months have passed and the project format is still in Preview:
It is now January 2025.
