The Capawesome November update is here! This update includes new features and improvements for Capawesome Cloud and our Plugins. Let's take a look at the most important changes.
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.
Ionic Appflow is a popular platform for building and deploying mobile apps, offering features like native builds, app publishing, and Live Updates. However, it can be quite expensive, especially for teams with a large number of monthly active users. This is where Capawesome Cloud comes into play, offering a more affordable and advanced alternative for Live Updates in Capacitor apps. In this post, we will compare the two platforms and highlight the key differences, features, and benefits of using Capawesome Cloud for Live Updates in Capacitor apps.
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 plugin to connect to a heart rate sensor.
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. There already exist several plugins for this, such as our Capacitor Live Update plugin, which can be integrated into your app within minutes. But how do these plugins work in detail? That's exactly what we'll look at in this blog post.
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.
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.
Today we are excited to announce our brand new Capacitor 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.
