Updates ](/blog/category/updates/) ## [Introducing Capawesome Platform: The Mobile App Platform for Modern Teams](/blog/announcing-capawesome-platform/) Today we're launching **Capawesome Platform** — Capawesome Cloud and Insider SDKs unified under one brand, one website, one onboarding flow, and one pricing system. It's the biggest change we've ever made, and almost every detail of it came directly from your feedback. Welcome to the new [capawesome.io](/). --- ## [Capacitor Live Updates: Signing vs Encryption](/blog/capacitor-live-updates-end-to-end-encryption/) If you compare live update solutions for long enough, you will run into a security claim that sounds decisive: "end-to-end encrypted." It suggests that solutions offering encryption are more secure than solutions that "only" sign their updates. That framing mixes up what the individual security controls in an update pipeline actually do. In this post, we walk through the threat model of live updates (also known as OTA updates or CodePush): what HTTPS already protects, what code signing guarantees, what encryption adds on top, and which of these properties matter for your app. By the end, you can evaluate the security of any live update solution based on facts instead of buzzwords. ## [Capacitor Live Updates: Reliability & Uptime](/blog/capacitor-live-updates-reliability-and-uptime/) Live updates are the tool you reach for when something is already broken in production. That makes the reliability and uptime of your Capacitor live update service critical: a delivery pipeline that fails during an incident defeats its own purpose. In this guide, we break down what the uptime claims of live update and CodePush services really mean, how to verify them yourself in about ten minutes, and how Capawesome Cloud is engineered to meet exactly this standard. ## [Shipaton 2026: Ship Faster With Free Capawesome Access](/blog/shipaton-2026/) Building for Shipaton 2026? Here's how to ship faster. You've got 8 weeks. That's not a lot of time. And every day you spend waiting on App Store or Google Play review is a day you're not shipping, not fixing bugs, and not making money. When you're racing everyone else to submit before the deadline, that waiting really adds up. Here's the good news. As a Shipaton 2026 participant, you get **2 months of the full Capawesome platform, free**. This post explains what that is, what it saves you, and exactly how to use it. But you should start NOW, and below we explain why. ## [Capawesome CLI 4.18.0 Release](/blog/capawesome-cli-4-18-0-release/) Version 4.18.0 of the [Capawesome CLI](/docs/cloud/cli/) is out. Eleven minor releases have shipped since the [4.7.0 release](/blog/capawesome-cli-4-7-0-release/) in April, and the theme running through all of them is coverage: things you could only do in the Cloud Console now have a command. Automations, native configurations and build sharing are all scriptable, failed builds can be explained by AI from your terminal, and a finished build can be installed on a local emulator or simulator with one command. ## [Revamped Git Integrations in Capawesome Cloud](/blog/git-integration-revamp-in-capawesome-cloud/) The Git integration in Capawesome Cloud just got its biggest upgrade yet. Git connections now live at the organization level instead of being tied to individual user accounts, GitHub gets a dedicated GitHub App with per-repository access, Gitea and plain Git (HTTP/S) join the list of supported providers, and every provider now offers a simple personal access token flow — including self-hosted and enterprise instances. With this upgrade, OAuth-based Git connections are deprecated: they continue to work until **December 31, 2026**, after which you'll need to switch to the GitHub App or a personal access token. Here's what's new — and how to migrate. ## [Share Mobile App Builds with Testers via Link & QR Code](/blog/share-mobile-app-builds-with-testers/) Getting a build onto a tester's phone is one of those things that should take seconds but usually doesn't. Today, we're changing that: with **build sharing** in [Capawesome Cloud](https://capawesome.io/cloud/), you can turn any successful build into a public share link. Testers open the link, scan a QR code, and install the build on their device — no Capawesome Cloud account, no app store review, no waiting. It works for Capacitor and Cordova apps as well as native Android (Kotlin/Java) and iOS (Swift/Objective-C) apps — with support for more frameworks on the way. ## [Convert Your Lovable App to iOS & Android Apps](/blog/convert-lovable-app-to-mobile-app/) You built an app with [Lovable](https://lovable.dev). You described what you wanted, watched it come to life in the browser, and now you have a real, working product. There's just one problem: it lives on the web, and you want it on the **App Store** and **Google Play**, sitting on people's home screens like every other app. This is the gap nobody warns you about. Lovable is brilliant at building your web app, but it stops at the browser. Getting that same app onto a phone — as a real native app you can submit to the stores — feels like it requires a completely different skill set, a Mac, and hours of fighting with Xcode and Android Studio. It doesn't. In this guide, we'll **convert your Lovable app into native iOS and Android mobile apps** using [Capacitor](https://capacitorjs.com/), then **build them in the cloud with [Capawesome Cloud](https://capawesome.io/cloud/)** — so you don't even need a Mac. We'll install it on a real iPhone, add a native camera feature, create the signing profiles and the Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, and walk through the entire real-world workflow to get a mobile app into the stores. No prior mobile experience required. We'll explain every command and every tool as if you've never opened a terminal before. ## [New CLIs & Xcode 26 in Capawesome Build Stacks](/blog/new-clis-and-xcode-26-in-capawesome-build-stacks/) We've refreshed both Capawesome Cloud [build stacks](/docs/cloud/native-builds/build-stacks/), `macos-sequoia` and `macos-tahoe`. The Capacitor, Cordova and Ionic CLIs now come pre-installed, more package managers are available out of the box, and Xcode has moved to its latest releases. Here's what changed in the build environment and what it means for your native iOS and Android builds. ## [How to Build a Cordova iOS App Without a Mac](/blog/build-cordova-ios-app-without-a-mac/) You can build a Cordova iOS app without owning a Mac by running the build on a hosted macOS machine in the cloud. The catch every Cordova developer on Windows or Linux runs into is that `cordova build ios` needs Xcode, and Xcode only runs on macOS. The good news is that the Mac can live in a data center instead of on your desk. This is a hands-on walkthrough. By the end you'll have connected a Cordova project to a cloud build service, uploaded your signing certificate, and pulled down a signed `.ipa`, all without a Mac in the room. Back to top
