Diagnose Power Apps mobile install/startup failures, npm run dev errors, missing package entry points, or QR/device-opening problems even before an app is loaded. Inspect locally first; restore locked dependencies or restart Metro only with explicit approval, never upgrade packages or patch host/MSAL source. For a running native app, monitor sanitized project-local Metro logs and diagnose runtime errors or silent failures such as empty lists and blank screens. Supports startup-only diagnosis…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

> **Plugin check**: Run `node "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js"` - if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.

**📋 Shared instructions: [shared-instructions.md](${PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/shared-instructions.md)** — read first.

Startup diagnosis uses the targeted compatibility inspection below instead of
the shared blanket version check; missing dependencies must not prevent diagnosis.
It does not check for updates. Explicit startup repair/restart approval overrides
shared auto-proceed/default-answer guidance.

# Debug App — Monitor & Fix

Monitor the running app through the project-local `.powernative/metro-logs/` files written by `metro.config.js`, detect runtime and bundle errors, and fix them autonomously by editing the affected files (or routing to the right skill when the fix belongs in a domain like Dataverse schema or auth registration). For silent failures, inject temporary `console.log` statements at data-path boundaries, read only newly appended log bytes, then clean the traces after the root cause is fixed. Modeled on the upstream `app-debugger.agent.md` pattern — foreground loop, bounded polling, configurable clean-check/timeout exits, and…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add microsoft/power-platform-skills/debug-app@sha256:e67ad41c96128fe9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.e42eada, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
