In this article, you will learn the details of how I've managed to work around some of the current restrictions that don't allow some integrations of Power Automate flows in a Power Apps canvas app.
I've recently added a Solution package in the Power Apps Gallery for a sample License Plate Reader.
Since the Power Automate flow uses AI Builder's text recognition Predict action, it requires to be in a solution (since it's part of the CDS - Current environment connector). From that point on, the Canvas app that I use to capture the image to be analyzed cannot run that flow, because it's a known limitation that Canvas app triggered flows are not available in solutions.
That is why I've used a CDS entity and related trigger as a workaround to process the image via a flow and then display the result back in the app.
