The dialog informs you that the app needs certain permissions in order to work properly. These permissions must be approved separately.

If you already approved the permissions after installation you don't have to do anything here. Otherwise you can find more information in chapter Approve permissions of the app.

After the upload you can verify the version of the installed app-package (your version can differ from the screenshot).

Update the App in the Site Collection

Prerequisites

Switch to Classic Experience

If you cannot find the app details page using the modern experience you can temporary switch to the classic experience to open the app details.

Go to the Site contents of your site collection and navigate to the Space Navigator App. Open the app actions of the Space Navigator in the site and click on "Remove".

We do not remove the app here. This is just the shortest way to switch the view.
