absoluteRect replacement?

Welcome to the forum!

One way to fix this code is to use a small helper function to convert a layer’s relative frame to absolute coordinates. There’s also a no-longer available setConstrainProportions API call that we might just get rid of entirely:

+// https://forum.sketch.com/t/property-absoluterect-is-removed-on-app-v97/1176
+function absoluteRectForLayer(layer) {
+    let parent = layer.parentObject();
+    let relativeRect = layer.frame().rect();
+    return parent.convertRect_toCoordinateSpace_(relativeRect, nil);
+}

var doc = context.document;
var selection = context.selection;

if (selection.count() > 0) {
    var loopSelection = selection.objectEnumerator();
    var layer;
    while (layer = loopSelection.nextObject()) {
        if (layer.class() != "MSArtboardGroup" && layer.class() != "MSSymbolMaster") {
            var artboard = MSArtboardGroup.alloc().init();
            artboard.setName(layer.name());
-           artboard.setFrame(MSRect.alloc().initWithRect(layer.absoluteRect().rect()));
+           artboard.setFrame(MSRect.alloc().initWithRect(absoluteRectForLayer(layer))); 
            doc.currentPage().addLayers([artboard]);
-           artboard.frame().setConstrainProportions(false);
            layer.moveToLayer_beforeLayer(artboard, nil);

            if (layer.class() == "MSLayerGroup") {
                var layerGroup = artboard.layers().firstObject();
                layerGroup.ungroup();
            }
        }
    }
}
