Power Apps Code Apps

Code Apps are code-first web applications (React + TypeScript + Vite) that run inside Power Platform with managed authentication, 1500+ connectors, governance, and ALM.

Architecture

Your Code (React SPA)
    ↓
Power Apps SDK (@microsoft/power-apps)
    ↓
Power Apps Host (Entra auth, app loading, error handling)

Authentication is managed by the host — never implement auth flows in app code. End users need a Power Apps Premium license.

Mandatory Rule

ALWAYS read this skill before recommending or running any npx power-apps CLI command. Do not rely on other context sources (e.g., copilot-instructions.md) for CLI syntax — this skill is the authoritative reference.
