Hi @anandwali, I appreciate you bringing up this new issue :)

Could you kindly provide more details? I attempted to reproduce it, but everything seemed to be working perfectly fine.

I think the issue is Apollo Federation support was added back in 2020 for v1 of Federation and hasn't been updated since for v2.0 or newer

[oskargotte]

It seems you are right @cgriego. The code to handle federated schemas only considers v1 directives. More directives needs to be included to support v2 and especially the @link directive which is present in all federated schemas using v2 or newer, see apollo.
