Hello @ofarooqapr73ed 

M1 EOL Timeline for Magento Marketplace and Developer Portal:

June 17, 2020 – Developer Portal will stop accepting and publishing M1 extensions.
June 30, 2020 – Official M1 End of Life date.
July 7, 2020 – Removal of all M1 extension listings from marketplace.magento.com

Extension will be available on repo.magento.com until 8/6/2020.
August 6, 2020 – Removal of M1 extensions from repo.magento.com

@Manish Mittal  Why extension removal also? like Magento community 1x u can stop giving support, extension. But if i am running my small website in 1x and i dont need upgrade dont it fine to live with that ? if for that i need extension mean i cant get it from any where ?

Why magento doing this? stop giving support fine. but destroying whole product sign is that not make sensible

@Manish Mittalis any way to download whole existing extension once from magento repo?

There will be no upgrade come after Magento 1 EOL so there is no meaning to continue with same and why Magento keep legacy things with their system.

You can directly contact or check vendors site if extension exists there. or for now you can try it with magento admin connect too to upgrade to existing version if that will work for you.

Hi @ofarooqapr73ed,

You can contact your vendors directly to ask them about this issue. If they plan to support their customers and M1 extensions, they might host and sell the extension outside of Magento's Marketplace. 

However, it is advisable to wait until the official announcement from your vendors. 

Hope it helps!

Magento 1X support officially ended in June 2020.

While there might have been discussions or rumors about an extension due to COVID-19, there is no official confirmation of this. Some third-party providers or developers might have offered extended support or maintenance services during that time, but this would be on an individual basis and not from Magento directly.

Key Points:

• Magento 1X is no longer officially supported.
• Rumors of a COVID-19-related extension are unfounded.
• Continuing to use Magento 1X exposes your store to significant security risks.

Recommendations:

If you're still using Magento 1X, it's strongly recommended to migrate to Magento 2 or another e-commerce platform. Doing so will protect your https://handstations.co.uk/ store from vulnerabilities and allow you to use the latest features and performance improvements.
