apollo 2.x.x had clearNormalizedCache function available on ApolloClient, how do you perform this with apollo3?

In 3.x, ApolloClient doesn't know anything about the cache. You'll have to hold a reference to the store and call it from there:

store = ApolloStore(MemoryCacheFactory())
    apolloClient = ApolloClient(mockServer.url()).withStore(store)
    // Do something with apolloClient ...
    // Clear the store
    store.clearAll()

We might add an extension function (like we did for watch for an example) although I personally find it nice to unbundle client and cache. I find it separates responsibilities a bit more.

Ended up adding it there: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-android/pull/3349

It's deprecated for now as the same functionality is available through store.clearAll().
