End of WAB is coming up in 2024?

[LefterisKoumis]

According to ESRI, support for the JS API 3.42 will end in 2024. WAB is based on this JS API 3.42.

Does it means that WAB will be obsolete, despite the repeated assurances from ESRI that WAB will be supported?

I heard someone say to a lawyer, "forever" means about 30 years.

With Esri, my observation is that when Jack announces a new product he always makes it sound like you can use the old product forever but generally "forever" here seems to mean 3-5 more years.

Agreed. It happened before when they announced WAB but they said that Adobe Flex was going to stay.
