Launch and Exit functions And Closing the tab of App

[abd3127]

Hello,

I am using Launch and Exit functiions in my app.

Using Launch i am going to another page which open in new tab of the browser.

And Exit logs me out of the app.

This all is fine.

But is there any way that when the new tab is launched ,the old tab should close ?? 

As launch function causes a new extra tab to open .

Thanks !!

Currently the call to Launch will always open the app in a new window/tab - there's no way to replace the current app with the new one in the current tab.

Please consider creating a new feature request in the PowerApps Ideas board to have this new parameter added to the Launch function.

I am facing the same issue. Launch is happening but the application is not closing properly. After that i am using a deep link url to open the application but it is not able to open.

Maybe this has been changed? I am attempting to launch multiple tabs, but the calls simply reload in the same tab. Is there any better source of info than the MS powerapps doc on how the Launch function really works??

Thanks!

Hi JDMcNeil,

Can you please elaborate more specific?

In my case, I was also facing this type issue. I was not able to redirect to the next scrren using deeplink when the app was in freeze mode in the background. So i create a child app and open this using deeplink. After that it moves to the parent app.

After Launch have you tried Exit()?

Launch("tel://");
Exit();
