The app developer may have an older cloud version you can install manually until they resolve the permissions issue with Atlassian directly.

If you are an app developer

In order for the app developer to resolve they will need to raise a dev help ticket to submit their use case for accessing email addresses and receive approval. See guidelines for requesting approval to access email address.
