+As a result, API restrictions you may have applied to API keys used by your Firebase applications may have to be updated to allow your apps to call the [Firebase Installations API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com).
## What do I need to do?
Before upgrading your application(s) to the latest SDK version, please **make sure that the API key(s) used in your application(s) are whitelisted for the Firebase Installations API:**
-- **Open** the [Google Cloud Platform Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials?folder).
-- **Choose** the project you use for your application(s).
-- **Open** `APIs & Services` and **select** `Credentials`.
-- **Click** `Edit API Key` (pencil icon) for the API key in question.
-- **Scroll down** to the `API restrictions` section.
-- If the radio button shows `Don't restrict key`, the API key is not affected.
-Otherwise, from the dropdown menu, **add** the `Firebase Installations API` to the list of permitted APIs, and click `Save`.
-
-**Note:** If you cannot find the [Firebase Installations API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com) in the list of APIs, you might first have to enable the API for your project (to do so [click here](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com)).
