`androidx.core:core` 1.19.0 folds `core-ktx` into itself, and AGP 9 bundles the Kotlin Gradle Plugin natively while Gradle 9 fully removes `jcenter()`. These rarely affect an app directly, unless you (or an old/community plugin) still pin an old `core-ktx` version, apply Kotlin standalone, or reference `jcenter()` — see [Migrate core-ktx to core](#migrate-core-ktx-to-core) and [Update Kotlin and remove jcenter()](#update-kotlin-and-remove-jcenter) below.

Capacitor 9 also removes the Java APIs that were deprecated in previous major versions. If your app or plugin still uses any of them, replace them as follows.

| Removed | Replacement |
| :------ | :---------- |
| `CapConfig(AssetManager, JSONObject)` constructor | `CapConfig.loadDefault(Context)` to load from `capacitor.config.json`, or `CapConfig.Builder` for embedded use |
| `CapConfig.getObject(String)`, `getString(...)`, `getBoolean(...)`, `getInt(...)`, `getArray(...)` | The typed getters on `CapConfig` for main config values and the `PluginConfig` accessors for plugin config values |
| `PluginCall.save()` | `setKeepAlive(true)` |
| `PluginCall.isSaved()` | `isKeptAlive()` |
| `PluginCall.hasOption(String)` | Typed accessors (`getString(...)`, `getInt(...)`, etc.) |
| `PluginCall.isReleased()` | No replacement, released calls are managed by the bridge |
| `Bridge.CAPACITOR_HTTPS_INTERCEPTOR_START` | `CAPACITOR_HTTP_INTERCEPTOR_START`, all proxied requests are handled by it |
| `Plugin.getConfigValue(String)` | `getConfig()` and the typed accessors on `PluginConfig` |
| `MessageHandler(Bridge, WebView, Object)` constructor | `MessageHandler(Bridge, WebView)` |
| `WebViewLocalServer.PathHandler.getResponseHeaders()` | `buildDefaultResponseHeaders()` |

## Breaking changes in @capacitor/ios

If you're updating from Capacitor 8.4 or earlier, you also need to adopt the iOS UIScene lifecycle, which Xcode 27 requires — see [Updating to 8.5](/main/updating/8-5.md) for the full steps. Apps already on 8.5 have nothing further to do here.
