on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Uses GitHub repos and GitHub Actions to export a Power Apps solution from a dev environment, pack/unpack solution actions split the .zip into XML/JSON/MSAPP files, commit a branch, merge and create a release that runs a second workflow which converts to managed and imports to production; demo changes a screen title and deploys successfully. Uses secrets for credentials and GitHub Artifacts to store the managed package. Tooling includes the .NET PowerApps Language Tooling to unpack/pack MSAPP source. Limitations: username/password auth (MFA off) and Windows runners; actions are preview.
