Why does my app require a premium license?

Hi guys,

 

I have recently build my first app using the tables within a solution rather than going "outside" of the solution and using sharepoint, as I thought it  would make managing the app in different environments and managing user access easier. Foolish I was. 

Once published to production, I noticed, that neither me nor anyone else for that matter can open the app, as it apparently requires a premium license. To my knowledgde, I have not used any premium connectors or features. There is one flow in the app which uses Outlook and a couple of tables. That is it. 

I guess my questions are:

One: Is there an intended way to find out WHY an app is designated premium?

Two: Am I correct in the assumption that the mere use of tables instead of sharepoint makes the app "premium"? 

Three: Why is there no notice, no pop-up, no warning, that you are building a premium app. How can you even build a premium app without having a premium license? I literally can not run the app that I have built.

    1. You will need a premium licence (per app or per user) because Dataverse is a premium connector. However, you can create a Developer Plan environment without requiring a premium licence.

    2. Other users you share the app with will also need a premium licence, but they can sign up for a 90 day trial licence which can be extended to a further 30 days after the initial trial has expired.
