PowerApps Default Environment: Important things you must know
I have found PowerApps Developers struggling big time after having crucial apps deployed to the default environment. Obviously it seems like a default production environment. Since there is minimal documentation on the PowerApps Default Environment, most of us do the mistake of using the default environment for production apps or business-critical apps. The documentation around the default environment is spread across different places in Microsoft documentation limbo. So, here is in a nutshell what’s default environment and why not to use it for production.
What is the default environment?
A default environment is a particular type of production environment. Each tenant has a default environment that’s created automatically. For each tenant, a default environment is automatically created by Power Apps, which is shared by all users. Whenever a new user signs up for Power Apps, they’re automatically added to the Maker role of the default environment. So it is seen as a public environment of your tenant.
Why not use the default environment for production?
What’s the use of the default environment then?
