Exploring the Capacitor Live Update API

Modern mobile application development requires agility and the ability to deliver updates quickly to users without the lengthy app store review process. The Capacitor Live Update plugin from Capawesome revolutionizes how developers deploy updates to their Ionic and Capacitor applications, enabling Over-the-Air (OTA) updates that allow instant delivery of new features, bug fixes, and content changes directly to users' devices without requiring them to download a new version from app stores.

Live Updates for Nuxt Capacitor Apps with Capawesome Cloud

Live Updates, also known as Over-the-Air (OTA) or hot code updates, are a way to push updates to your Android or iOS app without going through the app store review process. This is particularly useful for fixing bugs, adding new features, or making changes to your app without requiring users to download a new version from the app store. For this, we will use the Capacitor Live Update plugin from Capawesome in combination with Capawesome Cloud.

Exploring the Capacitor Biometrics API

Modern mobile applications increasingly rely on biometric authentication to provide secure and convenient user experiences. With the Capacitor Biometrics plugin from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful biometric authentication capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, enabling fingerprint, face, and iris recognition across Android, iOS, and Web platforms through a unified API that simplifies the complexity of platform-specific biometric implementations.

Exploring the Capacitor NFC API

Near Field Communication (NFC) has become an essential technology for modern mobile applications, enabling seamless interactions between devices and smart objects. With the Capacitor NFC plugin from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful NFC capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, bridging the gap between web technologies and native device features through a unified NFC API that works seamlessly across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Web.

How to Securely Store Credentials with Capacitor

A common requirement for mobile apps is the secure storage of credentials such as passwords, tokens, or API keys, as well as user authentication via biometric features like fingerprints or facial recognition. Previously, this was straightforward to implement using the Identity Vault and Secure Storage solutions from the Ionic team, particularly in enterprise environments. However, these plugins will no longer be maintained in the future. Therefore, we want to demonstrate how to achieve a similar solution using our brand-new Capacitor Biometrics and Capacitor Secure Preferences plugins.
