Ionic has discontinued all of its commercial products, including Auth Connect, Identity Vault, and Secure Storage. If your Capacitor app relies on any of these plugins, you need a migration path. Capawesome offers production-ready, actively maintained alternatives for all three — so you can keep building without interruption.
Many enterprise applications rely on Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) for identity and access management. If you're building a cross-platform app with Capacitor, the OAuth plugin makes it straightforward to integrate Entra ID authentication using the Authorization Code flow with PKCE. This guide walks you through app registration, sign-in, token management, and accessing the Microsoft Graph API.
Need SSO authentication in your Capacitor app? With Ionic discontinuing their commercial Auth Connect plugin, many developers are searching for a reliable replacement. The Capawesome OAuth plugin provides a modern, production-ready alternative that supports OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect with PKCE across Android, iOS, and Web.
Authentication is a critical part of most applications, and getting it right can be challenging. With Ionic's recent decision to discontinue new customer sales of its commercial products, including Auth Connect, many teams building Capacitor apps are now looking for a reliable alternative. That's why we built the OAuth plugin — a production-ready solution for integrating OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect authentication into your Capacitor applications across Android, iOS, and web. The plugin is now available for all Capawesome Insiders.
Looking for a way to protect sensitive data and authenticate users in your Capacitor app? With Ionic discontinuing their commercial Identity Vault plugin, developers need reliable alternatives for biometric authentication and secure session management. The Biometrics plugin and Secure Preferences plugin from Capawesome provide a modern, open alternative that covers the core functionality of Identity Vault.
