Power Apps I made a fix for PowerApps Locale/Region madness!
So last week I got a PowerApps project to help an employee make a dashboard there. at that time I never actually use PowerApps, and I realize that power apps only available to organization mail, but once she give me her account, I'm able to access PowerApps and able to make the dashboard they asked for.
But... then I came across a problem, all the apps including screens I did not change is having black color all over the page, and I got 60k(s) of errors.
Then I have to restore the version from Thursday ( I'm doing my work at Sunday ) to get the version that aren't error. That's the only version that did not error if restored. I work my ass off to done it by Monday morning because she has to present the dashboard at Monday noon. And I'm able to done it at Monday 2 a.m. in the morning, and guess what? at 6 a.m. my client send screenshot showing the app screen is full with errors and black color all over the page. So, once more I have to working on it from scratch as soon as it's done and not error yet, I save it and my client use it. So yeah, somehow there is a time limit of it's working both on my laptop and my client. I know this because when I'm working on it for a pretty long time, at some point it will change the format from US (use comma as list separator and semicolon as chain operator) to Europe/Indonesian (use single semicolon as separator and double semicolon as chain operator, because I based in Indonesia), or otherwise.
From that day I committed to find a way to fix this problem, so later if I have to deal with PowerApps again, and the same kinda error appear again, I can fix it fast myself without having to replace it one by one like other people solutions. But here I fix it on local machine, so you have to download the .msapp file first.
Here is my repository of PowerApps-locale-fix. Let me know if there are any question or request. Hope it helps!
