  • We have recently upgraded People functions to v1.16.0 as the previous versions v.1.10.0 and v 1.15.0 were being flagged in Health check with High/Medium Risk for containing Removed/Private/Deprecated Appian APIs. However, even after the upgrade the Plugin is being flagged in health check for using Deprecated APIs:

    People Functions (psshared.peoplefunctions) references deprecated Appian APIs
    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)

    Hoping to understand if there any plans for remediating the usage of deprecated APIs in upcoming upgrades, and if 1.16.0 would be compatible with Appian 24.3

  • I am using this plugin in my application and I am receiving the same warning in the health check and this is causing concern to the client. How did you act in this context?
