The java API (crawler) will work in future or not ?

Hi and thanks for great client.
From the point that you're using this java api and in my issue on that api page

Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) is deprecated. The C2DM service will be shut down completely on 10/20/2015. Currently, C2DM accepts no new users, and grants no new quotas

Will this API working in future ?
Does google plan to remove Client login ?

Multipart answer:

1. I plan on eventually replacing akdeniz's API with my own implementation. It has numerous shortcomings already and the list is growing.
2. It's 2017 now and Raccoon is still operational ;).
3. I'm not really sure, if C2DM and Client Login are the same thing in this context. If Google were to deprecate CL, they'd lock out a shitton of legacy devices (which seems rather suicidal, considering Google's business model).
4. Last time, I had a look at Gapps, CL still seemed to be the method of choice for hooking up with Google services.
5. Of course, this is a very nice reminder for why it's worth getting Raccoon premium: funding my research :).

Well we assume Client login & C2DM will work!
However we're working on a cross-platform LGPL project and looking for a way to interact with market in a trustworthy manner if you wish you can count on us for your new API if it's open source (we hope!) we'll be happy if you share that with us or at least give us some point to start with.

And one more thing could we use OAuth with that java API for now ? because there is no such Google play store API in developer console!

Yeah ... thanks, but I got enough on my own plate already to work on someone else's project, too.

Ok thanks for the answers.
But what about OAuth could we use that without having API in developer console ?
Does raccoon4 suppoert this ?
