Hello, i've found a method towards this same problem. This is based on the reddit post Exporting a canvas custom page (.msapp file) to a Canvas app - loads fine but unable to save Canvas app. : r/PowerApps

This assumes that you already have exported your page to a .msapp file, and you have imported it into powerapps and you've gotten a similar error.

Error saving to document server. Code: failed ToPutApp Error: {"error":{"code":"AppTypeUnsupported","message":"The type of the app being saved CustomCanvasPage is unsupported for this api."}} StackLength: 1480 Stack: Core.ApplicationError at n.t [as constructor]

First you need to install the Power Platform CLI: Microsoft Power Platform CLI - Power Platform | Microsoft Learn

I got mine by doing the Visual Studio Code extension method listed in above link, I also installed the Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.Command-Line Shells & Prompt For Developers - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Learn

First save the exported .msapp file into a folder.

Open a Developer Command Prompt as Administrator.

pac canvas unpack --msapp <path-to-your-msapp-file> --sources <output-folder-path>

For <path-to-your-msapp-file> do not forget to include the file name and extension, for example: C:\...\Apptofix.msapp

<output-folder-path> should be new folder with no files in it.

If done correctly you should see a list of files on your previously empty folder. Find the "CanvasManifest.json" file and edit it with a text editor.

Once open find the "DocumentType": "Page" property and Change "Page" to "App". "DocumentType": "App"

Save the file.

Go back to the Developer Command Prompt and type the following command:

pac canvas pack --sources <folder-path-with-unpacked-modified-file> --msapp <output-msapp-file-path>

<folder-path-with-unpacked-modified-file> should be the same as <path-to-your-msapp-file> used in first command

<output-msapp-file-path> should also include at the end how you want the output file to be named and file extension, for example C:\...\FixedApp.msapp

Find the output folder and import into powerapps :)
