chrome-extensions-samples Native Messaging API, has API become obsolete?

We are trying to build a program that would be able to communicate with extensions on a remote computer without having to install something.

However, it looks like the Chrome API has been updated and thus the functions we intended to use are now obsolete. Is there any way for us to find similar functions?

Thanks in advance!

Native Messaging is still supported and we recently reviewed the documentation here: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/nativeMessaging/

However, our sample (which should still work for the most part) is currently based on MV2: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-extensions-samples/tree/main/_archive/mv2/api/nativeMessaging. We should update this to MV3 and confirm it continues to work.
