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.

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. 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.

How to gradually roll out Capacitor Live Updates

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.
