React and Fluent based virtual code components are now generally available

We are excited to announce the general availability of React and Fluent-based virtual code components. This feature allows customers and partners to leverage the Microsoft Power Apps platform libraries for React and Fluent, enabling the creation of a diverse set of code components without the need to package these libraries.

Key Benefits:

• Unified Control Styling: Virtual controls with Fluent ensure consistent styling across multiple apps and app types.
• Improved Performance: By eliminating the need for isolated React trees and smaller control bundle.
• Simplified Development: The need to include React or Fluent libraries in individual component bundles is removed, streamlining the development process.

Note that code components created earlier via preview are backward compatible and will continue to work. Please rebuild them using the latest version of PAC tooling so that they are ready for future platform library upgrades.

You can find more details about this feature including supported platform library versions in our documentation for React controls & platform libraries. Please use Power Apps Pro Dev forum for any input or questions.
