FedEx shipping method integration migration from SOAP to RESTful API

This article provides a patch to resolve issues with the FedEx shipping method integration migration from SOAP to RESTful API for Adobe Commerce 2.4.4-p4 - 2.4.6-pX.

FedEx Web Services tracking, Address Validation, and Validate Postal Codes Web Services Definition Languages (WSDLS) will be retired on May 15, 2024. The SOAP based FedEx Web Services is in development containment and has been replaced with FedEx RESTFUL APIs. To learn more, refer to FedEx Web Services.

This change impacts our current FedEx shipping method integration implementation in Adobe Commerce and requires we fix our current implementation and migrate from deprecated SOAP APIs to the latest FedEx RESTFUL APIs.

Beginning on May 15, 2024, Adobe Commerce customers will not be able to use our current FedEx shipping method integration, so Adobe is releasing this hotfix that allows Adobe Commerce 2.4.4+ customers to use the latest FedEx RESTFUL APIs instead of the deprecated SOAP ones.
