New Alternative of Navigate() function on App.StartScreen and App.OnStart in Canvas apps

If you've ever faced issues while writing code for Navigation in App.StartScreen and App.OnStart of App within PowerApps, this post may be of help. These functions are widely used for the initialization of global variables, prefetching of data into collections, and determining which screen should be shown first. However, there is a new, alternative method for this.

By default, the first screen shown when an app starts is the first. But using the new alternative method, you can specify a different screen. This alternative method involves creating a new screen and setting it as the first screen to be displayed in the App.OnStart function. This ensures that users are redirected to the desired screen when the app starts.

So if you're struggling to get your PowerApps to navigate properly on start and launch, this post will guide you through the new method to doing so, helping you streamline your app's functionality and making the navigation process more intuitive for users.
