We have implemented a planned improvement to the Confluence macro editor, which now renders the configuration form in a modal dialog rather than the sidebar. This enables a more interactive and versatile onboarding flow and visualization preview. As a side effect, this also removed the deprecated platform component and the misleading error message in turn.
We are monitoring the situation.

Identified
We have identified an unexpected and misleading 'App update required' error message that precedes visualizations rendered via a Confluence macro. The error message claims that the 'app version is outdated and no longer supported', which is inaccurate. Besides the added visual noise, the app remains fully operational.
This error message seems to be automatically added by Atlassian to make users aware of an imminent platform deprecation on 2025-02-28 that may require administrative approvals by some apps [1]. While this is not the case for the app at hand, there is no way for us to communicate that to Atlassian, possibly resulting in this inadvertent usability flaw.
