    Hi david_busint

    as of my knowledge, this is not a glitch but by design. The "Apps" is coming from Power BI old world lets say. In Fabric you can still use the Apps but you need to switch the view to "Power BI" rather than "Fabric". In Fabric there is a new item called "Org App" which is quite similar to the Power BI App but with some other features (like design customization and more).

    Here the link for the Org App docs: Get Started with Org Apps (Preview) - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Best regards!

    I personally think it was designed deliberately this way. Fabric is a multi-engine analytics platform that focuses on 'Build' and 'Collaborate', but Apps are a Power BI-specific distribution concept, which emphasizes 'Publish' and 'Consume'. If APP is in Fabric it would blur the authoring and consumption.
