Creating an AWS ALB via kubernetes.io/ingress.class annotation no longer works. What is the alternative?

Previously, I was able to create an AWS ALB load balancer via this configuration

service:
annotations:
``kubernetes.io/ingress.ingressClass:`` alb

We upgraded to kubernetes 1.35, and this no longer works.

What is the alternative?
