Dear Administrator,

We’re writing to let you know that due to low usage, the App Maker product will be shut down on January 19, 2021. Google Cloud will continue to invest in providing customers with best-in-class solutions in the low-code/no-code space. While we regret the inconvenience this may cause, we’re committed to helping your organization navigate this change.

What do I need to do?
Review the list of apps for [REDACTED] in the attached CSV file. The list includes application name, creator name, last modified date, and a link to your Admin console with application-specific usage stats and project information.

App creators in your organization will need to review their use cases in the “replacement product” section and take action by the dates listed in the schedule below.

What if I no longer use the apps created with App Maker?
If you no longer use these apps, you can follow these steps to fully delete each app:

(Optional) Export the app before deleting to save database information.
Delete the app in App Maker.
Delete the associated Cloud project.
Is there a replacement product?
Due to the specific source code used for App Maker, you can’t directly migrate your apps to another platform. Depending on your use case, we recommend these alternative tools:

If you use App Maker to automate business processes: Use AppSheet, a new addition to our app development portfolio that has capabilities similar to App Maker. App Maker data is stored in Cloud SQL, and App Sheet supports Cloud SQL databases. This allows you to build an application on the existing database tied to your App Maker app.
If you use App Maker to develop apps: Use App Engine to build and deploy applications on a fully managed platform. App Maker data is stored in Cloud SQL, allowing you to build an App Engine application on the existing Cloud SQL database tied to your App Maker app.
If you use App Maker for data collection: Use Google Forms, which has many new features that were not available when App Maker launched.
When will App Maker be shut down?
App Maker will be shut down gradually according to the schedule below.

Today, existing apps continue to work. Though App Maker is no longer under active development, the service will continue to be maintained.
Starting April 15, 2020, you will no longer be able to create new App Maker apps. You will still be able to edit and deploy existing apps.
Starting January 19, 2021, App Maker apps will stop working and you will no longer have access to them. App Maker data stored in Cloud SQL will remain unchanged and continue to follow the policies established by your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account.
What will happen to my data?
Your App Maker data belongs to your organization. App Maker user data is stored in Cloud SQL and will continue to be retained according to the policies established by your GCP account. Data composing the App Maker app itself can be exported from within the App Maker editor until January 19, 2021.
