Message #20709
Re: Heads up! When using AdaptivePageLayout, make sure your Page has a PageHeader.
Hello Tim,
As we are not making any new component, and we are targeting this work to
happen with 1.3 UI Toolkit, apps made prior to 15.04.5 (or wherever this
change will land) will stop working with pages using old header
configuration setup. So if you have apps in the store which uses APL with
old page header configurations, please update those.
Cheers,
Zsombor
