Research direction

Start with the 3.8.0...3.9.0 comparison linked in the issue, then inspect the ManagementApi and UserIdentitySchema API changes involving String and UserId. Update the release notes or changelog to call out these breaking type changes, and verify that the documented changes cover the affected return and argument types.

Description

Changes like this worth a word in release notes / changelogs, IMHO :")

Would be nice if String replacement with com.auth0.client.mgmt.types.UserId surfaced clearly as it breaks plenty of things around com.auth0.client.mgmt.ManagementApi ...

Sorry, had to select "bug" label as others did not fit. Though, if it is a bug it is a documentation one :")

Reproduction

Just try to install 3.9.0 and build your project. If anything operated with UserIdentitySchema.getUserId() it will probably break as it returns now com.auth0.client.mgmt.types.UserId and not a plain String like it was in 3.8.0

Return and arguments type changed in plenty of places from String to UserId so it should be easy to catch
