Hi everyone,
Thank you for your continued partnership as wen move through the **Connect-to-Forge transition for Bitbucket Cloud.**Your feedback and engagement over the past few months have been invaluable, and we want to make sure you have the clarity and support you need as we enter the next stage.
We wanted to share an important update: we are now entering phase 2 of the Connect end of support for Bitbucket Cloud where all app updates must be delivered via Forge.
What’s changing in Phase 2
Moving forward, all app updates must be delivered via Forge. The only updates that may be permitted for Connect apps are those that directly support migration to Forge equivalents, such as adding the mechanism for Connect apps to register a Forge app as their replacement. To do this, add a `forgeAppLink` key to the root of your Connect app descriptor JSON, using the Forge installation link as the value.
Migration path
We’ve received several questions regarding the migration path, and we appreciate your patience as we work through this. Our team is actively discussing with our Marketplace teams to align on how to get Connect apps transitioned smoothly to Forge. We will be finalizing these details in the coming weeks and will update you as soon as we have clarity.
