Is the "Live Channels" app already phased out?

by latinriky78

Google made the "Live Channels" app not a system app anymore on Android TV 10, which means, it can be safely uninstalled or it gets removed altogether when the device gets reset to factory settings.

Now the app is not installable from the Play Store website stating it's not available in my country and it doesn't appear in search results using voice or keyboard search inside the Android TV Play Store or when using the Google Assistant.

Its last update is dated november 19th 2020, so it seems Google already phased out the app for good.

Can you confirm the same?

Today I'm getting a message that the app is deprecated on July 31 2022 when I open it. Never seen that message until today. Anyone else seeing this notification?

My works perfect for my needs. I just use it with my HD homerun and Pluto TV on my sheild. The integration is pretty nice.

Is this the source code? If so it should be possible to fork.
