App studio for Teams vs Powerapps studio?
I´m deciding to create a app for Teams or for PowerApps.
I have one question - can I develop the same things in App studio for Teams as what I can do in PowerApps? (canvas app).
Or is App studio for Teams more limited in some way when it comes to what functionality that can be developed?
Thanks!
- Let me try for the last time to explain it ;-):
(1) Teams Apps Studio: It's not for building Apps, but for creating the packages to deploy Apps in Teams.
(2) Power Apps Studio in Teams: It's for building Power Apps in the scope of Teams, i.e, Microsoft Dataverse for Teams. A Power App create in Power Apps Studio in Teams cannot be used outside of Teams.
(3) "Global" Power Apps Studio: It's for building Power Apps that can be used standalone through the browser, that can be deployed to Teams as a Personal App or that can be embedded in Teams through a Power Apps Tab or in a SharePoint Site through the Power Apps Tab

- Usually you package the app depending what type it is via app studio. This can be a power apps app for example!
- kranisCopper ContributorThanks for quick reply. My question is weather if I can build the same things in boths studios?
- No, you cannot build the same thing in both studios. The differences are quite clear:
1) Teams App Studio is just to create the package for your native Apps.
2) Power Apps Studio is just to create Power Apps in Microsoft Dataverse for Teams
