Solution

These properties will not affect in any way your apps created on our platform, since the BiznessApps platform is not using these APIs that will be changed. Therefore, there is no need for any action to be taken.

In case there is a major change that Google requires, we are notified beforehand and our Development team works in a solution so we have no disruption in the service with the goal of you not having to worry about your app functionality.
