SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Capacitor apps frequently drift across major versions, introducing breaking changes and misaligned native projects. This guide provides a safe, repeatable upgrade workflow that coordinates dependency updates, native project checks, and post-upgrade verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guides multi-version upgrades across Capacitor major versions with validated migration steps
  • Aligns @capacitor/* dependencies and checks native compatibility for iOS and Android
  • Verifies native projects by syncing and building after each major-version upgrade

Quick Start

Specify the target Capacitor major version and follow the guided steps to upgrade the project.

Frequently Asked Questions about capacitor-app-upgrades

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade a Capacitor app across multiple major versions safely?▼

To upgrade a Capacitor app safely across major versions, update all @capacitor/* packages, run npm install, sync native projects with npx cap sync, and verify iOS and Android builds after each step.

What is the best way to align Capacitor dependencies when migrating native projects?▼

The best way to align Capacitor dependencies during migration is to update all @capacitor/* packages together, run npm install, and execute npx cap sync to synchronize native iOS and Android projects.

Why does my Capacitor iOS or Android build fail after a major version upgrade?▼

Capacitor iOS or Android builds often fail after an upgrade due to misaligned native projects; running npx cap sync and verifying builds after each major version jump resolves these native compatibility issues.

Can I jump multiple Capacitor major versions in a single upgrade?▼

Yes, you can jump multiple Capacitor major versions by following validated migration steps that coordinate dependency updates, native project synchronization, and post-upgrade build verification for each increment.

Do I need to run npx cap sync when upgrading Capacitor packages?▼

Yes, you need to run npx cap sync when upgrading Capacitor packages to synchronize your web dependencies with the native iOS and Android projects and ensure build compatibility.

What are the limitations of upgrading Capacitor apps without verifying native builds?▼

Upgrading Capacitor apps without verifying native builds risks introducing breaking changes and misaligned native projects; post-upgrade verification across iOS and Android is required to ensure stability.
