Hello I am receiving this error when trying to use the gcp auth plugin for a GKE Autopilot cluster. Is there a way to fix this error or will this appear every time I use kubectl? I am currently using kubectl 1.24.

➜  autopilot git:(main) kubectl get ns

If you follow the link posted on that warning message, https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/kubectl-auth-changes-in-gke you’ll notice that the legacy auth plugin will be soon(ish) deprecated and you’ll have to install the new one, there are quite well explained steps there about this.
