+# Upgrading to FirebaseUI 9.0
+
+FirebaseUI version `9.0.0` has significant breaking API changes and also adopts new major versions
+of many critical dependencies. Below is a description of each breaking change.
+
+## All - Update to Firebase BoM 33
+
+FirebaseUI now depends on the Firebase SDK at BoM major version `33.9.0`. You should update your
+app to use the same major version to avoid possible compilation errors or crashes.
+
+For more information on this SDK release see the
+[Firebase Android SDK release notes](https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#bom_v33-9-0).
+
+Release Notes for other BoM versions with breaking changes:
+- [Firebase Android SDK BoM 32.0.0](https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#bom_v32-0-0)
+- [Firebase Android SDK BoM 31.0.0](https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#bom_v31-0-0)
+- [Firebase Android SDK BoM 30.0.0](https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#bom_v30-0-0)
+- [Firebase Android SDK BoM 29.0.0](https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#bom_v29-0-0)
+
+## Auth - Remove Smart Lock
+
+[Smart Lock for Passwords](https://developers.google.com/identity/smartlock-passwords/android/overview)
+, which was deprecated in 2022, is now removed from the Google Play Services Auth SDK
+(`com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth`).
+FirebaseUI Android has been updated to use [Credential Manager](https://developer.android.com/training/sign-in/passkeys)
+instead.
+
+Due to this change, some APIs have changed:
+
+- The `AuthUI#setIsSmartLockEnabled(boolean enableCredentials)` method has been replaced with the new
+ `setCredentialManagerEnabled(Boolean)` method.
+- The `AuthUI#setIsSmartLockEnabled(boolean enableCredentials, boolean enableHints)` method has been
+ removed with no replacement (for now).
+- The `AuthUI#silentSignIn()` method has been removed with no replacement.
+
+## Auth - (behavior change) new Email authentication flow
+
+Versions 8.x and older of FirebaseUI relied on methods like `fetchSignInForEmail`, which
+now fail with the introduction of
+[Email Enumeration Protection](https://cloud.google.com/identity-platform/docs/admin/email-enumeration-protection).
+
+Version 9.0 removed those methods and now shows a different flow for email sign in and sign up.
+
+## Auth - Removed SafetyNet
+
+[Firebase Auth v22.0.0](https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#auth_v22-0-0)
+removed SafetyNet support for app verification during phone number authentication.
