Between Apple's agreements, Google's compliance checks, and platform-specific gotchas, there's a lot of ground to cover before you can charge your first customer. Here are some practical tips to help you get started with in-app purchases on both iOS and Android using the [Purchases](/docs/plugins/purchases/) plugin. ## [Announcing Capawesome Cloud Automations](/blog/announcing-capawesome-cloud-automations/) 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. ## [CI/CD for Capacitor Apps: Choosing the Right Approach](/blog/choosing-the-right-ci-cd-approach-for-capacitor-apps/) 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. ## [How to Fix Capacitor Plugin Build Errors with AGP 9](/blog/how-to-fix-capacitor-plugin-build-errors-with-agp-9/) If you recently upgraded to Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 9 in your Capacitor project, you may have noticed that your Android build suddenly fails. AGP 9 introduces a breaking change that affects Capacitor core and many Capacitor plugins. The good news: fixes are already available. ## [How to Sign In with Auth0 Using Capacitor](/blog/how-to-sign-in-with-auth0-using-capacitor/) [Auth0](https://auth0.com/) is one of the most popular identity platforms, offering authentication and authorization as a service. If you're building a cross-platform app with Capacitor, the [OAuth](/docs/plugins/oauth/) plugin makes it easy to integrate Auth0 using the Authorization Code flow with PKCE. This guide walks you through application setup, sign-in, token management, and fetching user profile information. ## [How to Sign In with Google Using Capacitor](/blog/how-to-sign-in-with-google-using-capacitor/) Google Sign-In is one of the most widely used authentication methods in mobile and web apps. It lets users sign in with their existing Google account in just a few taps, avoiding the need to create and remember yet another password. Whether you're building with Ionic or another framework, the [Google Sign-In](/docs/plugins/google-sign-in/) plugin provides a simple way to integrate Google Sign-In into your Capacitor app on Android, iOS, and web. This guide walks you through creating the required credentials, configuring the plugin for each platform, and implementing the sign-in flow. ## [Key-Value Storage Made Simple with the SQLite Plugin](/blog/key-value-storage-made-simple-with-the-sqlite-plugin/) Storing simple key-value data in Ionic and Capacitor apps often means choosing between unreliable browser storage or writing boilerplate SQL. The [Capacitor SQLite plugin](/docs/plugins/sqlite/) now includes `SqliteKeyValueStore` — a built-in class that gives you a familiar `get`/`set` API backed by a real SQLite database. No SQL queries, no schema setup, no risk of data loss from WebView storage clearing. In this guide, you'll learn how to use `SqliteKeyValueStore` in your Capacitor apps and when to choose it over the [Secure Preferences](/docs/plugins/secure-preferences/) plugin. No SQL, no schema; when you need more, use the same **Capacitor SQLite plugin** and the full [plugin documentation](/docs/plugins/sqlite/#key-value-store). ## [Alternatives to the Discontinued Ionic Enterprise Plugins](/blog/alternatives-to-ionic-enterprise-plugins/) Ionic has [discontinued all of its commercial products](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-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. ## [How to Sign In with Azure Entra ID Using Capacitor](/blog/how-to-sign-in-with-azure-entra-id-using-capacitor/) Many enterprise applications rely on [Microsoft Entra ID](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/business/identity-access/microsoft-entra-id) (formerly Azure Active Directory) for identity and access management. If you're building a cross-platform app with Capacitor, the [OAuth](/docs/plugins/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. ## [Alternative to the Ionic Auth Connect Plugin](/blog/alternative-to-ionic-auth-connect-plugin/) Need SSO authentication in your Capacitor app? With [Ionic discontinuing](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products) their commercial Auth Connect plugin, many developers are searching for a reliable replacement. The Capawesome [OAuth](/docs/plugins/oauth/) plugin provides a modern, production-ready alternative that supports OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect with PKCE across Android, iOS, and Web. Back to top
