Can't connect to Power Apps Common Data Service??
Advocate IIStill no availability and it's a year later since they said "they are proud to announce availability". The latest Power BI update also has Common Data Service for Apps as a beta connector but zero information on how to use it. Any and all server URL's I tried end up saying the address does not point to a database.
The standard Common Data Service connector has gone back to the "Not available in your Region" (USA) message.
This is getting very frustrating because it's been a year since they announced it first and we have multiple CDS datasets behind Apps that we are currently in parallel maintaining in a seperate DB since we can't just use that data in Power BI.
I successfully managed to connect to that Service Yesterday and, it did exposes all the entities within the CDS Model. In the Server URL, I used the dynamic.crm URL.

edit: I should note we're not running Dynamics 365 yet so I'm unclear what the dynamics.crm would be if I just have a Entity in a CDS and an App running on top of it.
How? As in where do you get the Server Url? When I try something like https://web.powerapps.com/environments/_____________/entities (with the _____ being the identifier) I get the following view:
"OData: The given URL neither points to an OData service or a feed:". Do I use the actual App url which also didn't work?
Note I'm trying to use the "Common Data Service for Apps (Beta)" connector since the "Common Data Service (Beta)" is giving me the not availabe in region message.
On that front I do not have a "Enable" button that some other were seeing a year ago:
