Hello everyone,
I created a custom Android app based on the repository:
https://github.com/traccar/traccar-manager-android
I recently read that this repository is no longer being actively updated, and that the current recommended repository is now:
https://github.com/traccar/traccar-manager
I have a few questions regarding this change:
If I continue using the latest available version of traccar-manager-android, could this cause any issues in the near future due to the lack of updates?
For example: compatibility problems, security concerns, API changes, or loss of support.
Is there any immediate impact today, or is this more of a long-term concern?
From an Android-only perspective, is it recommended to migrate and build a new app based on the newer traccar-manager repository?
How different is the new repository compared to the old Android-specific one?
I’m mainly trying to understand the development effort required to migrate, refactor, or rebuild the Android app if necessary.
I want to evaluate whether a migration is really required at this moment or if it’s safe to keep the current app running for now.
Thanks in advance for any guidance or recommendations.

Near future probably no.
How different is the new repository compared to the old Android-specific one?
Very different. You would probably need to re-implement your changes.
