sorry for the lack of detail. The reference is from the bottom of page 264, and the app will run with the deprecated code.

Thanks. Looking in the `bootstrap.sh` script you’ll notice the book currently maintains support for Realm 3.4.0 while the deprecation was part of 3.7.0.

In that sense, we will release a fix/update for this version in a next release and also updated @icanzilb about this issue.
