We're excited to announce Capawesome Cloud Automations, a new feature that automatically triggers builds whenever you push to a branch or create a tag. No CLI, no external CI/CD pipeline, no manual steps — just connect your Git repository, set up an automation, and every matching Git event kicks off a build. Configure it once and let Capawesome Cloud handle the rest.
If you're still building and deploying your Capacitor app by hand, you're wasting time and shipping slower than you need to. CI/CD automates the repetitive parts — building, signing, and deploying — so you can focus on writing code. But setting it up for mobile apps isn't as straightforward as for web apps. Native builds, code signing, and app store submissions add layers of complexity that catch many teams off guard.
In this post, we'll walk through what a CI/CD pipeline for Capacitor apps looks like, how to set one up yourself, and when it makes sense to use a managed solution like Capawesome Cloud instead.
We are excited to announce version 4.0.0 of the Capawesome CLI! This major release brings a host of new features and improvements to enhance your development experience, including new commands for managing live updates, channel control, and web build support. This release also includes some breaking changes that you should be aware of before upgrading.
Take control of your Live Update deployments with the new channel pausing feature. Temporarily suspend updates for specific channels and resume them when you're ready—all with a single click or command.
We're excited to announce Capawesome Cloud Web Builds, a powerful new feature that brings web bundle creation directly to the cloud. Previously, creating bundles for Live Updates required setting up a local development environment and using the Capawesome CLI. Now, you can build and deploy Live Updates directly from the Capawesome Cloud Console—from any device, without any local tools. We've fully integrated bundles into our native build and deployment system, making it faster and easier than ever to get your updates live. From Git commit to live update in seconds, no local setup required.
We are excited to announce version 7.3.0 of the Capacitor Live Update plugin! This release introduces two powerful features that make managing over-the-air (OTA) updates even easier: automatic update strategies and rollback protection. These enhancements reduce the amount of code you need to write while providing a more robust update experience for your users.
If you're currently using Capgo for live updates and considering a switch to a more reliable, feature-rich platform, Capawesome Cloud offers a seamless migration path. With superior uptime, faster response times, and more competitive pricing, Capawesome Cloud provides everything you need for robust Over-the-Air updates.
With Ionic's recent announcement about discontinuing commercial products including Appflow by December 31, 2027, many teams are looking for alternative solutions for their live update needs. Capawesome Cloud provides the only drop-in replacement for Ionic Appflow, making migration straightforward while preserving your existing workflows.
We are thrilled to announce that Capawesome Cloud has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance! This significant milestone demonstrates our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest security standards and protecting our customers' data.
Understanding how your application's usage is tracked in Capawesome Cloud is essential for managing your service limits and optimizing your deployment strategy. This comprehensive guide explains the different types of usage metrics and how they're measured.
