@microsoft/power-apps-native-host

React Native host integration for @microsoft/power-apps. Provides the provider tree, authentication context, connection setup UI, and platform bridges required to embed Power Apps in a React Native / Expo application.

Build a Mobile App with Power Platform

Start from the Power Platform mobile app template, then use the mobile-app skill to generate the app plan, data model, screens, native capabilities, and connector wiring.

npx degit microsoft/power-platform-skills/plugins/mobile-apps/template#main my-mobile-app
cd my-mobile-app
npm install

Install the mobile-app skill from the Power Platform skills plugin:

https://github.com/microsoft/power-platform-skills/tree/main/plugins/mobile-apps/plugin.json

Then open the template folder in VS Code and run the skill from Copilot Chat:

/create-mobile-app

The template includes this host package and the required Expo / React Native runtime dependencies. The skill updates the app in place as it designs and generates the mobile experience.

Usage

import { PowerAppsProvider, useAuth } from '@microsoft/power-apps-native-host';

export default function App() {
  return (
    <PowerAppsProvider>
      <YourApp />
    </PowerAppsProvider>
  );
}

See src/index.ts for the full exported API.
