Unable to Create App from workspace
I have a pro license but when I try to create an app from a workspace, the screen greys out and nothing progresses. I do have authorization to create apps, I have created many in the past. I've logged this with our own IT team, but so far they have not been able to find a resolution or a reason. Have searched the forums but seems no one else has encountered this issue?
Can you use the devtools(F-12) and review the call stack for where it might be stuck and post the code block.
In Chrome DevTools:
- Open DevTools → Sources
- When the app hangs, click Pause (⏸)
The debugger will break at the exact line currently executing, which is typically inside the infinite loop. [stackoverflow.com]
From there:
- Inspect the call stack
- Look at loop variables
- Step out (Shift+F11) until you find the bad condition

Hi CKGZA,
Can you confirm what permissions you have on the workspace?
Can you share a screenshot of what you are encountering?
A pro license should be enough to create an app as long as you have permissions in the workspace.Publish an app in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

I am an admin on the workspace. I created the workspace. I can select 'Create App' and go through the motions of selecting the content, assigning the audience, and then publishing the app. But that is where it ends. The screen greys out, but nothing happens.

It was quite strange, the image I had selected for the app was the issue. I used the same image for the workspace with no problem. Our IT is looking into that too, but having changed the image I had no problem in publishing the app.
