This update includes new features and improvements for [Capawesome Cloud](/docs/cloud/) and our [Plugins](/docs/plugins/). There are also some news from the community. Let's take a look at the most important changes. ## [Changes to the Capawesome Insiders program](/blog/capawesome-insiders-goals-changes/) We have decided to make some changes to the [Capawesome Insiders](/docs/insiders/) program. In this blog post, we will explain the reasons for these changes and what they mean for you as a sponsor. ## [Capawesome November 2024 Update](/blog/2024-november-update/) The Capawesome November update is here! This update includes new features and improvements for [Capawesome Cloud](/docs/cloud/) and our [Plugins](/docs/plugins/). Let's take a look at the most important changes. ## [Announcing the Capawesome NPM Registry](/blog/announcing-the-capawesome-npm-registry/) Today we are very excited to announce the brand new Capawesome npm registry. This registry is part of Capawesome's Insiders program and aims to make it much easier for sponsors to access our [Sponsorware](/docs/insiders/). ## [Capawesome Cloud - The Complete Alternative to Ionic Appflow](/blog/alternative-to-appflow/) With Ionic Appflow scheduled to discontinue on December 31, 2027, development teams using Capacitor need a reliable alternative. [Capawesome Cloud](/) has emerged as the complete solution, offering Live Updates, Native Builds, and App Store Publishing in one platform. Built specifically for Capacitor and Ionic apps, Capawesome Cloud delivers faster builds, better developer experience, and significantly lower costs than traditional CI/CD platforms. In this post, we'll explore why Capawesome Cloud is the ideal migration path for teams currently using Ionic Appflow or looking for a comprehensive mobile app deployment platform. ## [How to Build a Heart Rate Monitor with Capacitor](/blog/how-to-build-a-heart-rate-monitor-with-capacitor/) Capacitor makes building a cross-platform app with one codebase easier than ever before. Today we will use the Ionic Framework and Capacitor to create a simple heart rate monitor app for Android and iOS in just 15 minutes. For this, we will use the [Capacitor Bluetooth Low Energy](/docs/plugins/bluetooth-low-energy/) plugin to connect to a heart rate sensor. ## [How Capacitor Live Updates Work Under the Hood](/blog/how-live-updates-for-capacitor-work/) One of the biggest advantages of Capacitor over other runtimes is the ability to deliver updates in real-time, without having to resubmit the app to the app stores. This feature is referred to as Live Updates or Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates. This post is a **technical deep dive** into how Live Updates work internally on Android and iOS — covering server paths, code signing, and app store compliance from a plugin developer's perspective. If you're looking for a hands-on, implementation-focused guide instead, check out [Capacitor Live Updates: A Complete Guide to OTA Updates](/blog/capacitor-live-updates-guide/). ## [Migrating from App Center to Capawesome Cloud](/blog/migrating-from-app-center-to-capawesome-cloud/) Microsoft App Center is being retired, leaving many developers looking for alternatives to continue delivering over-the-air updates and building their mobile applications. [Capawesome Cloud](/) provides a powerful, modern solution for Capacitor apps that offers seamless Live Updates and enterprise-grade features. This guide will walk you through migrating your Capacitor app from App Center to Capawesome Cloud, focusing on replacing App Center's CodePush functionality with Capawesome Live Updates while maintaining your existing workflow and improving your app's update delivery system. ## [How to gradually roll out Capacitor Live Updates](/blog/how-to-gradually-roll-out-capacitor-live-updates/) [Live Updates](/docs/cloud/live-updates/) are a powerful feature that allows you to deliver updates to your Capacitor app in real-time without having to resubmit your app to the app stores. In order to ensure a smooth rollout of updates, it is recommended to gradually roll out updates to your users. This way you can minimize potential issues and collect feedback from a smaller group of users before rolling out the update to all users. ## [Announcing the Capacitor Bluetooth Low Energy Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-bluetooth-low-energy-plugin/) Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Bluetooth Low Energy](/docs/plugins/bluetooth-low-energy/) plugin. This plugin enables interaction with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices in the central and peripheral role and provides cross-platform support for Android and iOS. The project is now available for all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). Back to top
