Template Apps and Custom Data Connectors
Thanks for the reply, funnily enough I just got off a call with someone from the PowerBI team who confirmed that connectors would need to be certified to use in app source. So that is a route we will look at.
He also suggested that I should be able to get my use case working with the REST API connector, so perhaps that has changed since the last time I used it so I will be looking in to that also.
I have a line in to MS on this issue now, so if you have anything to add feel free to reach out :)
Just finished testing. Sadly I can't get the Custom Connector to work in the Template App. in the app workspace no problem. But once it becomes a proper app it's off the table.
So yeah. Either use the existing REST & OData connectors and add your own parameters or get the connector published with Microsoft.
We're not going to go down the publish route yet so we're going to create an Azure Function as a wrapper for our business logic and parameterise it for use in the template app.
