Oracle Application Express 18.1 Ability to Build RESTFul Web Services in ORDS Not Supported

Oracle APEX 18.1, first available in August 2018, introduces the ability to build and manage RESTful web services in the Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS) repository from the SQL Workshop. At this time, this functionality is not enabled in Exadata Express and the "Minimum version of ORDS not met" warning is displayed on the RESTful Services page.

Workaround:

Continue using ORDS PLSQL API or SQL Developer to build and maintain RESTful web services.
