Research direction
No repository file or test is identified; start with ExportSolutionAsync and asyncoperations().message, using the controlled 9.2.26084/9.2.26091 comparison and the publish-time distinction. Done means the platform regression is reproduced, tracked with the ActivityId and Azure Storage request ID, and an export path is restored or a documented resolution is provided.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Exporting any solution that contains a code app fails on Dataverse 9.2.26091.144 and succeeds on 9.2.26084.156 — same tenant, same day, same CLI, byte-identical app.
This is the regression from #454, which was closed on 8 Sep and reported as returned on 18 and 20 Sep. Opening a new issue because that one is closed and the last two comments there went unanswered.
The failure
Plugin/Microsoft.Crm.WebServices.ExportXmlService
CanvasAppHandlerInternal.<ExportCodeAppBlobsForExportAndUpdateXmlNode>d__34
-> StorageBlobDataProvider.<ListBlobNamesAndUrisInContainer>d__4
-> Azure.RequestFailedException: 401 NoAuthenticationInformation
Server: Windows-Azure-Blob/1.0 Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0
ErrorCode: -2147220970 (surfaces to callers as 0x80040216)
ExportSolution only returns 0x80040216. The stack above is only visible by calling ExportSolutionAsync and reading asyncoperations(<id>).message.
The controlled pair
This is what pins it to the platform build. The same minimal code app — a single static index.html, no scripts, no data sources — pushed with the same CLI (@microsoft/power-apps-cli 0.15.1) into two environments that differ only in build:
| Environment | Dataverse build | Published | Export of its solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | 9.2.26084.156 | today 13:39 UTC | HTTP 200 — 2,632-byte zip containing CodeAppPackages/index.html |
| B | 9.2.26091.144 | today 13:41 UTC | 0x80040216 |
What decides it is when the app was published, not when it is exported
In a single environment now on 26091:
- an app last published 5 days before that environment received 26091 exported fine that morning — a 313-file bundle, 2.6 MB zip, all 313
CodeAppPackagesentries present; - after one republish on 26091, the same solution stopped exporting.
So 26091 appears to break the creation of the code app's blob container at publish time. Containers written by earlier builds stay readable.
A practical consequence worth documenting: on an affected environment, an app that still exports is one push away from losing that ability.
Clean repro on an affected environment
New solution, a brand-new Dataverse table created inside it, and a one-file code app with that table as its only data source, published today. Export fails identically. Nothing pre-existing is involved — not app size, not a migrated solution, not legacy data sources.
Ruled out, each one tested
| Hypothesis | Result |
|---|---|
| Publish client | @microsoft/power-apps-cli 0.15.1, pa 1.0.2 and pac 2.6.4 code push — all three produce an unreadable container |
| SDK / generated code | @microsoft/power-apps 1.4.0 + pa app refresh data-source across every table, rebuilt and repushed — still fails |
| Republishing (the 8 Sep workaround) | no longer helps; 4 republishes across 2 environments, no change |
| App size or contents | fails with one static file; succeeds with a 313-file bundle published pre-upgrade |
| Solution shape | fails for a brand-new solution containing one table and one app |
TargetVersion on export |
0x80040203 — "Exporting to a target version is not supported in this release" |
CloneAsPatch, then export the patch |
fails identically |
| Managed vs unmanaged | both fail |
| Caller identity | fails for an interactive user and for a service principal — not a permissions problem |
| Environment settings | enableipbasedstorageaccesssignaturerule = False, ipbasedstorageaccesssignaturemode = 0, no storage-SAS IP ranges, no IP firewall, external file storage off — identical in the working and the failing environments |
The docs note that code apps access their storage through SAS and that the SAS IP-binding setting therefore does not apply to them, which is consistent with a SAS simply not being attached on this code path.
Impact
Every ALM route out of an affected environment is blocked, because they all go through export: pac solution export, the Web API ExportSolution / ExportSolutionAsync, Power Platform Pipelines, and Solution Checker.
There is no customer-side mitigation. The platform build is assigned per scale group; no environment lifecycle operation changes it (the allowed operations are Move, Backup, Copy, Delete, Edit, Recover, Reset, Restore, network-injection, identity, Enable/Disable, governance and tenant-to-tenant — none of them versioning), and updateCadence is already at its fastest setting. Restore and Reset restore data and customizations, not platform binaries.
Ask
Could this be reopened and tracked? Happy to provide the ActivityId and the Azure Storage x-ms-request-id from failing runs, plus exact timestamps, on request.
