With the [Capacitor NFC](/docs/plugins/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](/blog/how-to-securely-store-credentials-with-capacitor/) A common requirement for mobile apps is secure storage of credentials (passwords, tokens, API keys) and user authentication via **biometrics** (fingerprint, Face ID). With Ionic's Identity Vault and Secure Storage [no longer maintained](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products), you can achieve the same with the [Capacitor Biometrics](/docs/plugins/biometrics/) plugin and [Capacitor Secure Preferences](/docs/plugins/secure-preferences/). For a complete walkthrough on the Biometrcis plugin make sure to read [Exploring the Capacitor Biometrics API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-biometrics-api/). ## [Announcing the Capacitor Biometrics Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-biometrics-plugin/) Today we are excited to announce our [Capacitor Biometrics plugin](/docs/plugins/biometrics/). It lets you request **biometric authentication** (Face ID, fingerprint) and device credentials (PIN, pattern, password) on Android and iOS through a single API. The plugin is available to all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). ## [Announcing the Capacitor Secure Preferences Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-secure-preferences-plugin/) Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Secure Preferences](/docs/plugins/secure-preferences/) plugin. This plugin is a drop-in replacement for the official [Capacitor Preferences](https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/preferences) plugin and allows you to securely store key/value pairs such as passwords, tokens or other sensitive information. The plugin provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS and Web and is now available to all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). ## [Announcing the Capacitor Audio Recorder Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-audio-recorder-plugin/) Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Audio Recorder](/docs/plugins/audio-recorder/) plugin. This plugin enables recording audio in your Capacitor app and provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS and web. It's available to all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). ## [Announcing the Capacitor Contacts Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-contacts-plugin/) Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Contacts](/docs/plugins/contacts/) plugin. This plugin allows you to access the device's contacts and provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS, and Web. The project is now available for all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/). ## [Updating to Capacitor 7.0](/blog/updating-to-capacitor-7/) Capacitor 7.0 is finally here and brings a lot of improvements! Make sure to check out the [official announcement post](https://ionic.io/blog/capacitor-7-has-hit-ga) from the Ionic team. In this article, you can find out what breaking changes have been made to the Capawesome plugins. ## [Announcing the Capawesome NPM Registry](/blog/announcing-the-capawesome-npm-registry/) Today we are very excited to announce the brand new Capawesome npm registry. This registry is part of Capawesome's Insiders program and aims to make it much easier for sponsors to access our [Sponsorware](/docs/insiders/). ## [How to Build a Heart Rate Monitor with Capacitor](/blog/how-to-build-a-heart-rate-monitor-with-capacitor/) Capacitor makes building a cross-platform app with one codebase easier than ever before. Today we will use the Ionic Framework and Capacitor to create a simple heart rate monitor app for Android and iOS in just 15 minutes. For this, we will use the [Capacitor Bluetooth Low Energy](/docs/plugins/bluetooth-low-energy/) plugin to connect to a heart rate sensor. ## [How Capacitor Live Updates Work Under the Hood](/blog/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. This post is a **technical deep dive** into how Live Updates work internally on Android and iOS — covering server paths, code signing, and app store compliance from a plugin developer's perspective. If you're looking for a hands-on, implementation-focused guide instead, check out [Capacitor Live Updates: A Complete Guide to OTA Updates](/blog/capacitor-live-updates-guide/). Back to top
