1. Install the 2.7 version

@matarld

2. Take care of the deprecations

@matarld
# config/packages/api_platform.yaml

api_platform:
    metadata_backward_compatibility_layer: false

3. Switch off the BC flag

@matarld

4. Upgrade your metadata

namespace App\Entity;

use ApiPlatform\Core\Annotation\ApiResource;
use ApiPlatform\Core\Annotation\ApiSubresource;

#[ApiResource(
    itemOperations: ['get'],
)]
final class Author {
    #[ApiSubresource]
    public Collection $books;
}
namespace App\Entity;

use ApiPlatform\Metadata\{ApiResource,Get};

#[ApiResource(
  operations: [
    new Get(),
  ],
)]
final class Author {
    public Collection $books;
}
@matarld

4. Upgrade your metadata (the lazy way)

@matarld
 $ php bin/console api:upgrade-resource

-use ApiPlatform\Core\Annotation\ApiResource;
+use ApiPlatform\Metadata\Link;
+use ApiPlatform\Metadata\GetCollection;
+use ApiPlatform\Metadata\ApiResource;
+use ApiPlatform\Metadata\Get;

 #[ApiResource(
-    iri: 'http://schema.org/Book',
+    types: ['http://schema.org/Book'],
-    itemOperations: ['get'],
-    collectionOperations: [],
+    operations: [new Get()],
 )]
+#[ApiResource(
+    uriTemplate: '/authors/{id}/books.{_format}',
+    uriVariables: ['id' => new Link(fromClass: Author::class, identifiers: ['id'])],
+    operations: [new GetCollection()],
+)]
 final class Book
