Strange. In the Play Store it says "Last updated Oct 4, 2018" and there's no newer version available on my phone. I'm on Android 9, just updated to that two days ago. The app's working and looks the same as it has for the past year or so.
It looks like the 2012 should be supported.

This app allows model year 2011-2017 LEAF owners to access these features**:
•Remote Start Charge •Remote Battery Status Check •Remote Climate Control On/Off •Remote Climate Control Timer •Route Planner •My Car Finder (MY16 and MY17) •Plug-in Reminder Notification •Charge Complete Notification •and more
The older cars came with a 2G radio which doesn't work on modern cell networks anymore, in the US Nissan will replace it with a 3G radio allowing it back on the network again for $200.
I honestly don't know the difference between synthetic and real leather so I can't advise, would a picture of my wheel help you?
So does Leaf. It doesn't let you honk the horn or flash the headlights, but it does let you turn the A/C on (even in a closed garage.)
Edit: Misread API as App. Leaf does not, as far as I know, allow public access to the API. Someone hacked it to write another app, but I found it flaky.

You only have to pay if you want the additional services.
I'm guessing you are using the old app. Older leafs used cell phone modems. New ones use satellite.
I think you want this for apple: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nissanconnect-ev-services/id407814405
and this for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aqsmartphone.android.nissan&hl=en\_US&gl=US
LOL! I was just about to post "I bet you have the non EV version of Nissan Connect.." The app you need is here:
