I’ve received multiple emails regarding the recent depreciation alerts within apps connected to my plugin. To shed light on this matter, please refer to the Bubble team’s announcement here for comprehensive information on the required upgrade to Plugin API V4 node 18 by Jan 4th 2024.
To clarify, the depreciation notices currently serve as warnings and should not have any immediate impact on your apps. I want to assure you that the Node 18 update has been successfully completed and submitted to Bubble for review to remove all depreciation warnings.
The most common question I received via email since these depreciation warnings started is: “Will this be updated? My app relies on your plugin.”
I want to address this question publicly as the fear of having to find ways to pivot quickly with software can be very unsettling. This plugin holds immense importance for many of my own projects, client apps, and over 240+ Bubble users. I have no intentions of discontinuing support and updates. My goal is to continue making it the go to Bubble emailing plugin.
Should there come a time when I can no longer provide support, updates, or address customer feature requests, I will either pass the reins to a fellow plugin developer in the Bubble community and/or release an unmanaged legacy version publicly.
Regarding the Node 18 update, I want to give a public thank you to @nocodeventure - Mido and his team. This quarter has been exceptionally busy for me with clients as well as a personal out of state move. Recognizing the time constraints, I reached out to Mido at @nocodeventure who handled the update to node 18 for me.
For those seeking plugin upgrades or fully custom-built plugins, I recommend checking out their recent thread here.
Once the update is accepted by Bubble, I will provide another update in this thread. As always, feel free to reach out to me directly for support, feature requests, or general questions.
