With [Ionic discontinuing](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products) their commercial Identity Vault plugin, developers need reliable alternatives for **biometric authentication** (Face ID, fingerprint) and secure session management. The [Capacitor Biometrics](/docs/plugins/biometrics/) plugin and [Capacitor Secure Preferences](/docs/plugins/secure-preferences/) plugin from Capawesome provide a modern alternative that covers the core functionality of Identity Vault. For a complete walkthrough on the Biometrcis plugin make sure to read [Exploring the Capacitor Biometrics API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-biometrics-api/). ## [Updating to Capacitor 8.0](/blog/updating-to-capacitor-8/) Capacitor 8.0 is finally here and brings a lot of improvements! Make sure to check out the [official announcement post](https://ionic.io/blog/announcing-capacitor-8) from the Ionic team. In this article, you can find out what breaking changes have been made to the Capawesome plugins. For a complete upgrade guide covering all migration approaches, see [How to Upgrade Your Capacitor App to Capacitor 8](/blog/how-to-upgrade-your-capacitor-app-to-capacitor-8/) or [How to Upgrade Your Capacitor Plugin to Capacitor 8](/blog/how-to-upgrade-your-capacitor-plugin-to-capacitor-8/). ## [Capacitor Live Update Plugin 7.3.0 Release](/blog/capacitor-live-update-7-3-0-release/) We are excited to announce version 7.3.0 of the [Capacitor Live Update](/docs/plugins/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. ## [Exploring the Capacitor Barometer API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-barometer-api/) Environmental sensors have become increasingly important in modern mobile applications, enabling developers to create context-aware experiences that respond to real-world conditions. With the [Capacitor Barometer](/docs/plugins/barometer/) plugin from Capawesome, developers can integrate precise atmospheric pressure measurements into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, unlocking possibilities for weather monitoring, altitude tracking, and environmental data collection through a streamlined API that delivers accurate barometric readings across Android and iOS platforms. ## [Announcing the Capacitor Barometer Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-barometer-plugin/) We're pleased to introduce the [Capacitor Barometer](/docs/plugins/barometer/) plugin, bringing atmospheric pressure sensing capabilities to your Capacitor applications. This plugin enables precise barometric measurements in hectopascals (hPa) with support for real-time updates and sensor availability detection across Android and iOS platforms. The plugin is now available for all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). ## [Alternative to the Ionic Secure Storage Plugin](/blog/alternative-to-ionic-secure-storage-plugin/) Looking for a secure storage solution for your Capacitor app? With [Ionic discontinuing](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products) their commercial Secure Storage plugin, developers need reliable alternatives for encrypted data storage. The [Capawesome SQLite](/docs/plugins/sqlite/) plugin and [Capawesome Secure Preferences](/docs/plugins/secure-preferences/) plugin provide modern, secure solutions that address the functionality gap left by Ionic Secure Storage. ## [Encrypting SQLite databases in Capacitor](/blog/encrypting-capacitor-sqlite-database/) Data security is paramount in mobile apps especially when handling sensitive user information. This guide shows how to encrypt SQLite databases in **Capacitor** using the [Capacitor SQLite plugin](/docs/plugins/sqlite/) with 256-bit AES and secure key management via the [Capacitor Secure Preferences](/docs/plugins/secure-preferences/) plugin. For full **Capacitor SQLite plugin documentation**, see the [plugin docs](/docs/plugins/sqlite/). ## [Exploring the Capacitor SQLite API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-sqlite-api/) Modern mobile applications often require robust local data storage solutions to manage user information, cache data, and enable offline functionality. With the [Capacitor SQLite](/docs/plugins/sqlite/) plugin from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful SQLite database management capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, providing a unified API that simplifies cross-platform database operations while offering advanced features like encryption, migrations, and transaction support across Android, iOS, and Web platforms. This guide walks through the **Capacitor SQLite plugin** API with practical examples and best practices for Ionic and Capacitor apps. ## [Alternative to the Capacitor Community SQLite plugin](/blog/alternative-to-capacitor-community-sqlite-plugin/) Looking for a robust **Capacitor SQLite** solution for your Capacitor app? While the Capacitor Community SQLite plugin has been a popular choice for many developers, there's now a compelling alternative that addresses common pain points and provides enhanced features. The [Capawesome SQLite](/docs/plugins/sqlite/) plugin offers a modern, enterprise-grade SQLite solution with improved security, performance, and developer experience. ## [Announcing the SQLite Plugin for Capacitor](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-sqlite-plugin/) We are thrilled to announce the launch of our comprehensive [Capacitor SQLite plugin](/docs/plugins/sqlite/), the go-to **Capacitor SQLite** solution for Android, iOS, and web. This powerful database solution brings enterprise-grade SQLite functionality to your Capacitor applications with support for encryption, transactions, schema migrations, and seamless cross-platform compatibility. The plugin is now available for all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). Back to top
