capacitor-app-upgrades
From the author
Routes and drives a Capacitor app upgrade across one or more major versions (4 to 9), including the required 8.4 to 8.5 iOS UIScene step before Capacitor 9 and Xcode 27. Detects the current version, plans the hop order (e.g. 6 to 7 to 8 to 8.5 to 9), runs `npx cap migrate` per hop, delegates each hop to its version skill, and verifies native builds between hops. Use for "upgrade Capacitor", "update to the latest Capacitor", "cap migrate", multi-version jumps, or when the target version is unclear. Do not use for plugin library upgrades (use capacitor-plugin-upgrades), Cordova apps (use cordova-to-capacitor), or non-Capacitor frameworks.

- capacitor-plugin-upgradesCap-go/capgo-skillsRoutes and drives a Capacitor plugin library upgrade across one or more major versions (4 to 9), including the iOS UIScene lifecycle audit that Capacitor 8.5 and 9 require. Detects the supported Capacitor range, plans hops (e.g. 7 to 8 to 9), runs each official plugin migrator, delegates to the per-version skill, and verifies TypeScript, Android, iOS (podspec and Package.swift) and the example app. Use for "upgrade my plugin to the latest Capacitor", "support Capacitor 9 in my plugin", bumping peerDependencies, or multi-version plugin jumps. Do not use for app projects (use capacitor-app-upgrades) or non-Capacitor plugin frameworks.Planning★ 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-app-upgrade-v7-to-v8Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades 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.DevOps★ 73
- capacitor-uiscene-migrationCap-go/capgo-skillsMigrates a Capacitor iOS app or plugin from the AppDelegate lifecycle to the UIScene lifecycle introduced in Capacitor 8.5 and required by Xcode 27. Audits first (custom AppDelegate URL/lifecycle code, CAPBridgeViewController subclasses, existing SceneDelegate.swift, Info.plist UIApplicationSceneManifest, project.pbxproj registration, plugin lifecycle observers, tmpWindow/TmpViewController), reports, then merges surgically or hands template-shaped projects to `npx cap migrate`. Use for "Capacitor 8.5 upgrade", "add SceneDelegate", "adopt UIScene", "CLIENT OF UIKIT REQUIRES UPDATE", deep links or appUrlOpen stopped firing after 8.5, "cap migrate skipped partial state", or as the prerequisite step before Capacitor 9. Do not use for Android, full major upgrades (use capacitor-app-upgrade-v8-to-v9), or new deep-link setup (use capacitor-deep-linking).Engineering★ 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-v6-to-v7Cap-go/capgo-skillsUpgrades a Capacitor app from v6 to v7 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest-7`, then the manual checklist - Node 20+, Xcode 16+, iOS deployment target 14.0 (Xcode project and Podfile), Android Studio Ladybug with JDK 21, AGP 8.7.2, Gradle 8.11.1, minSdk 23, compile/target SDK 35, removed `bundledWebRuntime` and `cordova.staticPlugins` config, `navigation` in configChanges, and official plugin breaking changes (removed deprecated types like `AppUrlOpen`, `HapticsImpactStyle`, `DeviceBatteryInfo`; Device no longer returns disk sizes). 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
