App Script UI Service

[Nick Waggamon]

First off this is literally the greatest thing since sliced bread. We have used this extensively to automate/digitize a lot of processes for a non-profit we volunteer with. Thanks so much for developing this!!

However we got an email today from Google that they have set a date (Summer 2019) for deprecating the App Script UI service. I wanted to see if this was on your radar and if you thought it would be something that can be updated and if there is anything I can do to help with that or help test I would be more than happy to help. I'm not much of a programmer but really want to see this live on.

Interesting, I have not received such email. And I obviously have some instances of this running.

Well, I haven't really touched FormEmailer for years now. But it seems quite a few people still use it... and if Google is indeed going to break it for good I'll update it.

I doubt they'll break it though, Ui-service has been deprecated for years yet still works fine.

Let's see. Thanks for the heads up though.

Hmm.. interesting.... Our non-profit is on Google apps for non-profits and here was the text of the email...

This originally was sent to the domain administartor account (and forwarded to me) if you want the original email I'd be happy to forward.

We’re writing to let you know that the Apps Script UI Service, which was deprecated on December 11, 2014, will be discontinued on July 15, 2019. Any projects using Apps Script UI Service will cease to function from July 15. While there is no direct migration process for existing UI Service projects, Google App Maker is a new tool which can be used to create rich visual applications in G Suite and you can create similar UI applications using that tool.

Our records indicate there are one or more projects in your organization that leverage the UiApp Service:

Hi Henrique, I've also had the same email today (via G Suite Team) regards Apps Script UI Service ceasing July 2019. How will that affect me using formemailer? It has become the engine that quietly drives all my spreadsheet activities, so I'm a bit alarmed at the prospect of having to start all over again.

FormEmailer email processing will probably continue to work just fine. It is just that its interface might not open anymore.

Even if I don't do anything, you might still be able to setup your FormEmailer by editing its json config manually, which is cumbersome and error prone.

If I work in a new version, you'll have to manually migrate to the new version. I'll try to make it as smooth as possible, but there will likely be manual process involved.

Today, on one script (but not others), I started getting this error when I try to run the Settings function:

"UiApp has been deprecated. Please use HtmlService instead. (line 395, file "email_pickup_form")"

Screenshot attached.

Hello,

Today for me the UiApp has bee deprecated at all.
I see the plugin still work, i think that affect only the GUI (form).
the only way for make the configuration is modify manually the JSON,
Last week i was working on a project, so i have to done this manually now.

I hope a script update is released.

I thank you for your work.

Best Regards.

Good day all.  As an FYI - we just started receiving this notification from Google related to OAuth authorization granted in order for FormEmailer.gs to run.  I'm not sure if this is script specific or way/method we have authorized script to run on G Sheets.  

Subject

[Action Required] Google+ APIs and OAuth requests are being shutdown on March 7, 2019

Message body

The email below contains your most recent usage of Google+ APIs. Note: It includes Google+ OAuth scope requests, which are also affected by the Google+ shutdown. A prior email sent to active API callers did not include information about OAuth requests. One final reminder email will be sent in February to users who still have active API or OAuth request activity.

What do I need to know?

On March 7, 2019, all Google+ APIs and Google+ Sign-in will be shut down completely. This will be a progressive shutdown, with API calls starting to intermittently fail as early as January 28, 2019, and OAuth requests for Google+ scopes starting to intermittently fail as early as February 15, 2019.

What do I need to do?

Please update your projects listed below by March 7, 2019 and ensure they are no longer using Google+ APIs, or requesting Google+ OAuth scopes. The data below shows which Google+ API methods your projects have recently called, as well as Google+ OAuth scopes it has requested.

Note: If you see calls to people.get, these can be the result of using the Google+ Sign-In feature in your application, which is now fully deprecated and is being shut down. Developers should migrate from the Google+ Sign-In feature to the more comprehensive Google Sign-in authentication system.

I have also received this message on each of the accounts where we use this script for automating form submissions.  It specified the following:

This is the same message I got today when trying to set up new forms with formemailer. Is there any fix to this, or any other program that runs similar to formemailer? I’m needing a fix quickly, and would appreciate any help!

[Christopher Porter]

Anyone found a fix? I received the message of death today while trying to edit my form.
