capacitor-best-practices
From the author
Review and set up Capacitor apps against current best practices (Capacitor 8.5 stable, 9 alpha via `@next`). Use for a Capacitor codebase review, `capacitor.config.ts` audit, new project setup, aligning `@capacitor/core`/`cli`/`ios`/`android` and plugin majors, plugin patterns (availability checks, `checkPermissions`/`requestPermissions`, error `code` handling, web fallbacks), or release prep; or on `"<Plugin>" plugin is not implemented on ios`, `Could not find the web assets directory`, `platform has not been added yet`, a dev `server.url` shipped to production, lost edits in `android/app/src/main/assets/public`, SPM vs CocoaPods, or AppDelegate/UIScene drift. Do not use for security audits (capacitor-security), performance (capacitor-performance), tests (capacitor-testing), crashes (debugging-capacitor), major upgrades (capacitor-app-upgrades), SPM migration (cocoapods-to-spm), UIScene adoption (capacitor-uiscene-migration), or live updates (capgo-live-updates).

- capacitor-securityCap-go/capgo-skillsApp-level security audit and hardening for Capacitor apps. Use when the user wants a security review, OWASP MASVS check, or pentest fixes; runs the Capgo scanner (`npx @capgo/capgo-sec scan`, `capsec`, rule IDs like SEC001, NET003, CAP004); finds API keys or `.env` values in the web bundle; stores tokens in `@capacitor/preferences` or `localStorage`; needs Keychain/Keystore storage, certificate pinning, CSP, or root/jailbreak detection; or sees `server.cleartext`, `allowNavigation`, `webContentsDebuggingEnabled`, `NSAllowsArbitraryLoads`, `android:usesCleartextTraffic`, `android:allowBackup`, `net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED`, or ATS "requires the use of a secure connection" errors. Do not use for Xcode build-setting hardening (use capacitor-ios-security-hardening), deep link setup (capacitor-deep-linking), App Store review (capacitor-apple-review-preflight), CI design (capacitor-ci-cd), or live update setup (capgo-live-updates).Security★ 73
- capacitor-pluginsCap-go/capgo-skillsPick, install, and wire up Capacitor plugins for native features (camera, filesystem, geolocation, biometrics, in-app purchases, social login, SQLite, calendar, contacts, health, BLE, NFC, etc.). Covers official @capacitor/* packages (Capacitor 8.5 stable, 9 alpha on next) plus the 145-package @capgo/* index, native permission keys (Info.plist, AndroidManifest, variables.gradle minSdk), npx cap sync / cap ls verification, and errors like '"Camera" plugin is not implemented on ios', 'unable to find plugin', UNIMPLEMENTED, and OS-PLUG-* codes. Use for "which plugin should I use for X", adding a plugin, or a plugin call failing after install. Do not use for push setup (capacitor-push-notifications), splash assets (capacitor-splash-screen), keyboard layout (capacitor-keyboard), deep links (capacitor-deep-linking), OTA updates (capgo-live-updates), upgrading plugin source code (capacitor-plugin-upgrades), or adding SPM to a plugin (capacitor-plugin-spm-support).Engineering★ 73
- debugging-capacitorCap-go/capgo-skillsDiagnoses and fixes runtime bugs in Capacitor iOS/Android apps - white/blank screen on launch, startup crashes, `"X" plugin is not implemented on ios/android`, `net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED`, App Transport Security blocks, CORS on capacitor://localhost, permission denials, live reload not connecting, and Capacitor 8.5+ UIScene regressions (appUrlOpen, universal links, pause/resume silent because AppDelegate callbacks stopped). Covers Safari Web Inspector, chrome://inspect, Xcode/LLDB, Android Studio, `npx cap run --url` (Capacitor 9) vs `-l --host` (8), `xcrun simctl openurl|privacy|push`, `xcrun devicectl device process launch|openURL`, `xctrace`. Do not use for only reading device logs (ios-android-logs), the UIScene migration itself (capacitor-uiscene-migration), deep-link setup (capacitor-deep-linking), speed (capacitor-performance), crash SDKs (capacitor-native-observability), tests (capacitor-testing), or upgrades/build errors (capacitor-app-upgrades, cocoapods-to-spm).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-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-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
