capacitor-app-upgrade-v7-to-v8
From the author
Upgrades a Capacitor app from v7 to v8 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest`, then the manual checklist - Node 22+, Xcode 26+, iOS deployment target 15.0, Android Studio Otter, AGP 8.13.0, Gradle 8.14.3, JDK 21, minSdk 24, compile/target SDK 36, Kotlin 2.2.20, Gradle `=` property assignment syntax, `density` in configChanges, removed `android.adjustMarginsForEdgeToEdge` (use the System Bars plugin and CSS env vars), `bridge_layout_main.xml` renamed, iOS `appendUserAgent` whitespace fix, and official plugin changes (Geolocation timeout, Screen Orientation/Barcode Scanner on Android 16 large screens). Use when `@capacitor/core` is 7.x and the target is 8.x. Points to the 8.5 UIScene adoption and v9 next steps. Do not use for other major versions, plugin library upgrades, or non-Capacitor apps.

Use when `@capacitor/core` is 6.x and the target is 7.x, or on errors like "Capacitor 7 requires JDK 21" or "Module 'X' has no exported member 'AppUrlOpen'". Do not use for other major versions, plugin library upgrades, or non-Capacitor apps.DevOps★ 73

Use when `@capacitor/core` is 5.x and the target is 6.x, or after the upgrade users are logged out on Android, a custom iOS plugin is "not implemented", or `addListener(...).remove` no longer compiles. Do not use for other major versions, plugin library upgrades, or non-Capacitor apps.Media★ 73

- capacitor-app-upgrade-v8-to-v9Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor app from v8 to v9 (prerelease, installed with @next until GA). Covers preflight (Node 24, Xcode 27, Android Studio 2026.1.1, UIScene adoption from 8.5), `npx cap migrate`, and the manual checklist - iOS 16 target, @UIApplicationMain to @main, removed CAPBridge APIs, AGP 9.2.1, Gradle 9.5.1, SDK 37/minSdk 26, gradle.properties cleanup, built-in Kotlin, jcenter removal, core-ktx, proguard-android.txt rename, optional Cordova runtime, `cap run --url`, push `alert` removal, splash fade default. Use for "upgrade to Capacitor 9", errors like "'@UIApplicationMain' is deprecated", "Could not find method jcenter()", getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt') failures, duplicate Kotlin plugin, duplicate class core-ktx, "unknown option '-l'". Do not use for 8.4 to 8.5 UIScene only (use capacitor-uiscene-migration), plugin libraries (use capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v8-to-v9), or older majors.Other★ 73
- capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v7-to-v8Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor plugin library from v7 to v8 using `npx @capacitor/plugin-migration-v7-to-v8@latest`, then the manual checklist - dev deps `^8.0.0` and peer `@capacitor/core` `>=8.0.0`, minSdk 24 and compile/target SDK 36 defaults, AndroidX dependency defaults, AGP 8.13.0, Gradle 8.14.3, Gradle `=` property assignment syntax, Java 21, Kotlin 2.2.20 (`kotlinOptions` to `compilerOptions`, no `kotlin-android-extensions`), google-services 4.4.4, iOS 15 in podspec and `Package.swift`, `capacitor-swift-pm` `from: "8.0.0"`, and the renamed `capacitor_bridge_layout_main` resource. Use when a plugin targets Capacitor 7 and must support 8, or on Kotlin 2 / Gradle space-assignment errors. Points to the v8-to-v9 next step.
