Hard to say with all of this, since you shouldn’t be needing to run any composer commands if you’re using the plugin, we ship with all the composer libraries and vendor folders. That said, I also know we had this line item change in version 2.4.0
- Prefixed Algolia library to avoid potential conflicts with other code using the same libraries.
Where we now have our vendor folder named vendor_prefixed to avoid potential other code clashes. If your for sure intending on relying on our plugin for the search client library, you’ll likely need to update namespace prefixes, for example WebDevStudios\WPSWA\Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\SearchClient
That said, it feels like you’re also doing things custom in regards to templates, which we definitely understand and get, but that also makes it a little difficult to troubleshoot those parts. We’d do what we can, but hard to say without seeing code.
Regarding the admin notice, if you have a folder named algolia and the out of box autocomplete.php and instantsearch.php files in there, that’s why you’re seeing that notice, even if you’re not using them.
You can see the changes made for version 2.5.0 at this link:

Thank you @tw2113 I’ll try updating the namespace with the new prefix and see if that solves the problem. Appreciate the help.
Regarding the two files (located in /plugins/wp-search-with-algolia/templates), if composer doesn’t update those to 2.5, shall I do that manually? Thank you.
Also a potential lesson for us that we need to communicate these things a bit more, but it’s also really hard to gauge exactly how custom people have gone with the plugin. 🙂

Not sure why you need to be touching these directly, since they should have updated automatically with the update to the plugin code when you pulled in the 2.5.0 changes. It’s any copies in the theme that would be not touched at all.
Updating my code to use the namespace fixed the problem.
$client = WebDevStudios\WPSWA\Algolia\AlgoliaSearch\SearchClient::create(
$this->application_id,
$this->api_key
);
Thanks again.
