2. What are the Power Apps limitations?

Performance Limitations

• By default, you can retrieve only 500 items, which can be extended up to 2000, but performance decreases.
• Many functions are non-delegable, making it hard to query large datasets efficiently.

Development Limitations

• In Canvas apps, only one developer can work at a time. Multi-developer setup via GitHub requires extra effort.
• JavaScript cannot be integrated into Power Apps forms.
• There is no support for shared or reusable functions across apps.
• Debugging in Power Apps is complicated and less efficient compared to traditional coding platforms.

Integration & Features

• Works fine with SharePoint, but if using SQL as backend, the attachment control is disabled.
• Some integrations require custom connectors, which adds complexity.
• Offline functionality is restricted and not suitable for heavy offline scenarios.
• Limited support for various device sizes and screen orientations.

Licensing & Sharing Issues

• Licensing structure is complicated and confusing for many organizations.
• Many premium connectors require additional licensing, increasing costs.
• Difficult to share apps with external users due to license constraints.

Scalability & Enterprise Readiness

• Not Suitable for Complex Projects – Power Apps is not ideal for very large projects with complex business requirements.
• ALM Complexity – Application Lifecycle Management requires additional setup with Power Platform Build Tools.
