Hi ,

To help you do business wherever you are, we’re adopting the International Components for Unicode (ICU) formats for dates and times. ICU sets the international standard for these formats for all locales. The new formats provide a consistent experience across the Salesforce platform and improve integration with ICU-compliant applications across the globe. The ICU formats replace Oracle’s Java 8 Development Kit (JDK8) formats. This update was first made available in Winter ’20.

Note: Salesforce enforces this update in Spring ’22. Salesforce orgs created in Winter ’20 or later have ICU locale formats enabled by default.

Reference:

Hope above information helps. Please mark as Best Answer so that it can help others in future.

Thanks.

Alternatively, you can format the Calendar object itself, which will use the timezone and time from that calendar: 
unicodeString = dateFormat -> format(*calendar, unicodeString, (FieldPositionIterator*) nullptr, // ignored uErrorCode);
Note, though, that using the above function, the calendar type had better match that of the dateformat. An easy way to do that is to make sure you pass in the locale parameter when creating the calendar: 
// above: Calendar* calendar = Calendar::createInstance(timeZone, locale, uErrorCode);

We are using Salesforce REST APIs in our integration. Do we need to take care of anything regarding this ICU format enforcement?
