This is a bit sensationalistic of a headline as Google had already previously paved the path to transition from Google Fit to the Health Connect platform, the centralized hub for all health data. It's more secure and allows a wider more diverse suite of apps to integrate into it.
From the article:
>While we’ve deprecated the Google Fit Android API, we’re aiming to turn down the API no sooner than June 30, 2025. This is to give users enough time to switch to Health Connect and continue their service.
Specifically they indicate, as they have in the past, that developers should transition from the Google Fit API to the Health Connect API. The Google Fit app already uses the Health Connect API itself to upload health data to a centralized repository.
The article also mentions no "big updates" since 2022, while I can't gauge what they're qualifying as "big", there have been 20+ app updates since that time frame and there is a major beta release ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... ) that has been in public testing for some time now.
