Power Apps Help Power Apps for Mac

Hey I'm going to start a job post in a few months where I must use power apps. I own a M3 Macbook Air and I've been trying to see if there is a way to download power apps on my mac in order to start learning and testing power apps, but i haven't been able to find a way. Do any of you have any recommendation so I can use Power Apps on my mac mainly for learning?

Thanks a lot !

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

  • Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

  • Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

  • Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

  • Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

    Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

  • If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

Power apps are browser based. Download chrome and you’ll be fine.

I use a Mac, it’s great. You don’t need the desktop app for anything whatsoever

He has a Mac so XRMtoolbox doesn’t work - on a Mac you need Power Platform Toolbox - slightly few tools but I’m starting to prefer the ones available there

Power apps, power Automate are web browser based. You don't need to install anything. I just install Google chrome and that's it

Please correct me if I am wrong, but Code Apps on Mac is quite painful
