Power Apps Wrap AD App Registration for Android

Introduction

The wrap feature in Power Apps lets you create native mobile versions of your canvas apps as custom-branded Android and iOS mobile apps. You can distribute such wrapped native mobile apps to the end users through Microsoft Intune, Microsoft app center, Google Play or Apple Business Manager, or other native distribution methods.

Makers can use wrap wizard to create secure, custom-branded, standalone Android and iOS enterprise native mobile apps and distribute them through the app stores or other native distribution methods.

The wrap wizard for Power App is currently a feature that is generally available (GA) from June 2023.
