To migrate a Capacitor app from CocoaPods to Swift Package Manager, use a migration skill that backs up user-authored files, re-scaffolds the iOS project with SPM, and re-syncs all plugins. This ensures compatibility while transitioning dependency management systems.

Migrating Capacitor apps to Swift Package Manager requires Capacitor 6 or higher and Xcode 15 or higher. The migration process performs prerequisite checks to verify your project meets these environment requirements before initiating the SPM transition.

Yes, migrating your Capacitor app to SPM preserves your custom files. The migration process implements a backup and restore mechanism specifically designed to protect and maintain user-authored files throughout the dependency management transition.

The migration handles existing Capacitor plugins by performing an inventory check before migration and re-syncing all plugins afterward. This ensures every installed Capacitor plugin remains fully compatible with Swift Package Manager once the transition is complete.

Yes, you can verify your Capacitor app builds successfully after switching to Swift Package Manager. The migration process includes a build verification step that confirms the app compiles correctly with the new SPM configuration and re-synced plugins.

The best way to transition iOS app dependency management from CocoaPods to SPM is an automated migration that handles project re-scaffolding, plugin synchronization, and file preservation. This approach ensures a verified build without manually rewriting dependency configurations.
