8 Desupported Features

Desupported features are no longer available. If a desupported feature has to do with application metadata or APIs, then existing applications may not work as they did previously. Oracle recommends modifying the application to replace the feature.

8.1 Desupported Attributes in App Builder

The following attributes in App Builder are desupported:

  • In Edit Application Definition:
    • Progressive Web App - Icon URL
    • Application Icon - Icon File Name
  • In Edit User Interface:
    • Favicon

8.2 Desupported Properties

The following properties in the property editor are desupported:

  • Region Image
  • Image Tag Attributes

8.3 Desupported View Columns

The following view columns are desupported:

  • In apex_applications:
    • app_builder_icon_name
    • favicons
    • pwa_manifest_icon_url

8.4 FullCalendar 3 Desupported

FullCalendar v3 is desupported, including:
  • deprecated plug-in attributes
  • files and folders specific to v3 or jquery-fullcalendar
  • v3-specific logic in PL/SQL and JavaScript
The used library version is now FullCalendar 5.11.2. APEX upgrades the library automatically.

8.5 App Builder Defaults Desupported

Developers can no longer define App Builder Defaults from Workspace Utilities, App Builder Defaults. The Create Application Wizard no longer uses the defined attributes.

8.6 Copying Legacy Themes Desupported

The Copy Theme Wizard no longer supports copying legacy themes. This includes Themes 1 - 26, and the jQuery Mobile theme.

8.7 CKEditor4 Desupported

Rich Text Editor items based on CKEditor4, which are marked as deprecated since APEX 20.2, are now desupported and will be automatically converted to CKEditor5. CKEditor4 is removed from APEX completely.

Converted items receive the following configuration:
  • Format: HTML
  • Toolbar: unchanged
  • Toolbar Style: Multiline
  • Minimum Height: 180
  • Maximum Height: null
  • Allow Custom HTML: Enabled
The properties Toolbar Position and Skin do not have a CKEditor5 equivalent, and are removed. Any code included in the JavaScript Initialization Code attribute is automatically commented out.
Oracle recommends manually checking the functioning of each Rich Text Editor item.

Note:

With this update, any code referencing CKEditor4 and the CKEDITOR global object no longer works.

8.8 Desupported Public Package APIs

Desupported public package APIs:
  • apex_page.is_desktop_ui function
  • apex_page.get_ui_type function
