What’s happening?
Customers face challenges in preventing web crawlers from accessing their Power Apps pages, typically managed through a robots.txt file.
Reason:
Power Apps does not natively support the configuration of a robots.txt file, as it operates within the Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem, which is not a traditional web hosting service. This limitation means that users cannot directly set up a robots.txt file for their Power Apps.

Resolution:
While Power Apps does not support a robots.txt file, customers can manage web crawler access through alternative methods. It is important to note that Power Apps applications are generally designed for internal use within an organization, meaning they are not typically open to the public, and thus, there is less concern regarding web crawlers. For public-facing applications, such as Power Apps Portals, users can refer to Microsoft documentation on managing robots.txt and sitemap files using the IIS Search Engine Optimization Toolkit.
