capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v5-to-v6
From the author
Upgrades a Capacitor plugin library from v5 to v6 using `npx @capacitor/plugin-migration-v5-to-v6@latest`, then the manual checklist - `@capacitor/*` dev deps to `latest-6`, `compileSdkVersion` replaced by `compileSdk`, compile/target SDK 34 defaults, AGP 8.2.1, Gradle 8.2.1, Kotlin 1.9.10, plus code changes - `addListener` in `definitions.ts` returns only `Promise<PluginListenerHandle>` (drop `& PluginListenerHandle`), remove `CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(removeAllListeners, ...)` from the `.m` file, and optional experimental SPM support via `Package.swift`. Use when a plugin targets Capacitor 5 and must support 6. Do not use for app upgrades, other major versions, or non-Capacitor libraries.

Use when a plugin's peer dependency is Capacitor 4 and it must support 5, or apps on v5 fail with "Namespace not specified" in the plugin module. Do not use for app upgrades, other major versions, or non-Capacitor libraries.Planning★ 73
- capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v6-to-v7Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor plugin library from v6 to v7 using `npx @capacitor/plugin-migration-v6-to-v7@latest`, then the manual checklist - dev deps `^7.0.0` and peer `@capacitor/core` `>=7.0.0`, tooling bumps (eslint, swiftlint, prettier 3 with prettier-plugin-java, rollup 4 with `rollup.config.mjs`, rimraf 6, docgen 0.3), minSdk 23 and compile/target SDK 35 defaults, AGP 8.7.2, Gradle 8.11.1, Java 21, Kotlin 1.9.25, iOS 14 in podspec and `Package.swift`, pinned `capacitor-swift-pm` `from: "7.0.0"`, plus removed APIs - `call.success()` / `call.error()` (use `resolve` / `reject`), `registerWebPlugin`, `Capacitor.platform` / `isNative`, Android `BridgeFragment`. Use when a plugin targets Capacitor 6 and must support 7. Do not use for app upgrades, other major versions, or non-Capacitor libraries.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. Do not use for app upgrades, other major versions, or non-Capacitor libraries.Other★ 73
- capacitor-app-upgrade-v5-to-v6Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor app from v5 to v6 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest-6`, then the manual checklist - Node 18+, Xcode 15+, Android Studio Hedgehog, AGP 8.2.1, Gradle 8.2.1, compile/target SDK 34, `compileSdkVersion` to `compileSdk`, the `androidScheme` default flipping to `https` (data loss risk), iOS local plugins no longer auto-registered, iOS zoom disabled by default, and official plugin breaking changes (`addListener` returns only a Promise, Camera Photo Picker, Filesystem ctime/mtime numbers). 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-v4-to-v5Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor app from v4 to v5 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest-5`, then the manual checklist - Node 16+, Xcode 14.1+, Android Studio Flamingo with JDK 17, AGP 8.0.0, Gradle 8.0.2, compile/target SDK 33, `package` moved from AndroidManifest.xml to `namespace` in build.gradle, Jetifier removal, pinning `androidScheme` to `http`, and official plugin breaking changes (Device `uuid` to `identifier`, Android 13 notification permissions, READ_MEDIA_IMAGES). Use when `@capacitor/core` is 4.x and the target is 5.x, or on errors like "Namespace not specified" or "Android Gradle plugin requires Java 17". Do not use for other major versions, plugin library upgrades, or non-Capacitor apps.Planning★ 73
- capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v8-to-v9Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor plugin library from v8 to v9 (prerelease, @next until GA). Runs `npx @capacitor/plugin-migration-v8-to-v9@latest`, then the manual checklist - peer/dev dependency ranges, removed Android APIs (@NativePlugin, saveCall, pluginRequestPermission, int-code startActivityForResult, CapConfig getters, PluginCall.save/isSaved/hasOption), removed iOS APIs (CAPBridge class, getWebView, isSimulator, presentVC, CAPNotifications), AGP 9.2.1 / Gradle 9.5.1 build.gradle edits (compileSdk 37, minSdk 26, no targetSdk, built-in Kotlin, core-ktx to core, unique namespace, no jcenter, proguard-android-optimize.txt), iOS 16 in podspec and Package.swift, dropping the Cordova SPM product, and UIScene lifecycle observers. Use for "update my plugin to Capacitor 9", "Cannot find 'CAPBridge' in scope", NativePlugin compile errors, AGP 9 namespace collisions. Do not use for apps (use capacitor-app-upgrade-v8-to-v9), the 8.5 UIScene app step (use capacitor-uiscene-migration), or older majors.Writing★ 73
