It is nothing new. You may see this every day on the Azure Portal. However, it’s still important to mention because it’s a fact: Logic App designer will be retired and become unavailable starting September 2024!
We already have the possibility to switch to the “new” generally available Logic App designer in the Azure Portal by clicking on the Generally Available Designer button and then clicking Yes.
However, after September 2024, this will be the default, and I assume that you cannot switch back to the old Legacy Designer.
Even if this is not a breaking change and does not impact anything, one question arises from this Microsoft decision: What happens with Visual Studio 2019 Logic App Consumption Extension?
Logic App Consumption doesn´t have designer support for Visual Studio Code. The only extension available for developer Logic App Consumption is for Visual Studio 2019, and that only supports the old legacy Designer. Does that mean that:
- We cannot develop or change our Logic App Consumption projects inside Visual Studio 2019 anymore?
- Will we still be able to work with the legacy design inside Visual Studio 2019?
- Will Microsoft upgrade this extension to support the new Designer and maybe support Visual Studio 2022?
- Will Microsoft support Logic App Consumption Designer also in Visual Studio Code?
Unfortunately, we still don’t know, but we will soon find out!
