[ Get started ](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io)[ See pricing ](/pricing/) ## Live Updates for your favorite frameworks [![](/assets/icons/capacitor.svg) Capacitor ](/technologies/capacitor/)[![](/assets/icons/ionic.svg) Ionic ](/technologies/ionic/)[![](/assets/icons/cordova.svg) Cordova ](/technologies/cordova/) Your browser does not support the video tag. More than 1,000 teams build with Capawesome ## How it works Get started in 3 simple steps Capawesome Cloud is easy to set up and integrates seamlessly with your existing Capacitor app 1\. Create a new app Start by creating a new app in the Capawesome Cloud Console. Just enter your app name, create your first channel and you're ready to go. [ Get started ](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io) 2\. Install the Live Update SDK Install the Live Update SDK in your Capacitor app and configure the plugin to connect to your Capawesome Cloud project. [ Read the docs ](/docs/cloud/live-updates/setup/) 3\. Publish your first update Publish your first live update to your app and see the magic happen. Just upload your changes via the Capawesome Cloud Console or the Capawesome CLI. [ Read the docs ](/docs/cloud/live-updates/setup/) ## Every feature, included The most complete Live Update platform for mobile Delta updates, code-signed bundles, automatic rollbacks, and audit logs — available on every plan from day one. ### Code Signing Sign every bundle with an RSA key pair (2048, 3072, or 4096-bit) so devices install only updates you've authored. ### Delta Updates Ship only the files that changed. Smaller downloads, faster installs, happier users on slow networks. ### Gradual Rollouts Release to 10%, 25%, 100% of users at your pace — catch regressions before they hit your entire base. ### Automatic Rollbacks If the app crashes after an update, automatically roll back to the last healthy bundle — no user action required. ### Background Updates Download updates silently while the app is in use and apply them cleanly on the next launch. ### Multiple Update Strategies Pick background, always-latest, or a fully custom strategy — one plugin, every update flow. ### Protected Channels Lock production channels to code-signed bundles and restrict publish access by role. ### Channel Pausing Stop a rollout mid-flight without resetting progress — resume the moment you're ready. ### Analytics & MAU Insights Track active devices, update adoption, and bundle health across every channel you operate. ### Update History Every bundle, rollout, and rollback — timestamped and queryable from the console, CLI, or API. ### Audit Logs Complete entity-level audit trail for every channel, bundle, and team member change. ### Self-Hosting Host bundles on your own CDN or infrastructure. We handle metadata — you own the delivery. ## Channels Channels that flex with your release strategy Run every release track — dev, staging, production, QA, customer-specific — from a single project with fine-grained control over who gets what. **Channel pausing** to freeze rollouts without losing state **Channel surfing** for opt-in beta and internal QA builds **Channel forcing** to route specific devices on demand **Channel protection** with code-signed bundles and RBAC [ Explore channel features ](/docs/cloud/live-updates/channels/) qa-internal beta staging production 100% rollout · 12,340 devices live ## Web Builds From a git ref to a live update — in one command Skip the local build step and the CI glue. Point the Capawesome CLI at a branch or tag and the Cloud Runner clones, builds, and ships the update for you. **One command** from git ref to a published live update **No local toolchain** — ship from Windows, Linux, or a Chromebook **Encrypted build-time secrets**, configurable per channel **Same runner** that powers Native Builds for iOS and Android [ Explore Native Builds ](/cloud/native-builds/) Terminal $ npx @capawesome/cli apps:liveupdates:create \--git-ref main --channel production ✔ Cloned capawesome-team/capacitor-app@main ✔ Installed dependencies (14.2s) ✔ Built web bundle (8.4s) ✔ Uploaded bundle and assets (5.1s) ✔ Published to production → live to 12,340 devices ## Safety Ship boldly. Roll back instantly. Gradual rollouts and automatic rollbacks are on by default, so a bad bundle never reaches your whole user base. **Gradual rollouts** to 10%, 25%, 50%, or 100% of users **Automatic rollbacks** when a release misbehaves on device **One-click manual rollback** from console, CLI, or API [ Learn about rollbacks & rollouts ](/docs/cloud/live-updates/advanced/rollouts/) console.cloud.capawesome.io/bundles Bundle history v12.4.2 12 min ago LIVE v12.4.1 2 hr agoprevious v12.4.0 1 day agoarchived !

We mainly use it for over-the-air updates, allowing us to **fix bugs and release updates quickly without waiting for the app review process**. The integration was incredibly easy — it took us less than a day and felt almost plug-and-play. The support is excellent as well; the team is always helpful, responsive, and quick to reply. ![Sagie Ivan](/assets/images/testimonials/sagie-ivan.jpg) Sagie Ivan Co-Founder at Dibs We mainly use over-the-air (OTA) updates to deliver critical bug fixes and updates when waiting on the App Store review process is not an option. After dealing with too much down-time and latency from Capgo, we made the decision to switch to Capawesome Cloud and we couldn't be happier. **Capawesome is more stable and the package delivery speeds are significantly faster**, which makes a big difference at scale. Capawesome's team is extremely responsive and professional - thanks for supplying such a great product guys. ![Jedidiah Weller](/assets/images/testimonials/jedidiah-weller.jpg) Jedidiah Weller World Builder at Summon Worlds Moving from Ionic Appflow to Capawesome Cloud has been a fantastic experience. We're very pleased with the product and genuinely impressed with what the team has built. The **builds are significantly faster than Ionic Appflow**, which is a nice improvement. We especially appreciate how the build process is separated from deployment—it has made debugging much easier and streamlined our entire workflow. The support has also been great. We hope to see even more users make the switch!

Reach out on [Discord](https://discord.gg/VCXxSVjefW) or [contact our team](/contact/). What are Live Updates? Live Updates, also known as Over-the-Air (OTA) or hot code updates, are a way to deliver updates to your app without the need to resubmit it to the app stores. This allows you to fix bugs, add new features or change the design of your app in real-time. Unlike traditional app updates that require users to download from app stores and can take days for review, Live Updates are delivered instantly via our global CDN. This dramatically reduces your time to market and allows you to respond quickly to issues or user feedback. Are Live Updates compliant with app store policies? Yes, Live Updates are fully compliant with both Apple App Store and Google Play Store policies. Our platform only modifies the web layer (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets), which is explicitly permitted by both stores. Apple allows "interpreted code" downloads as long as they don't change the app's primary purpose, and Google Play exempts code running in webviews from self-update restrictions. Learn more in our [Live Updates FAQ](/docs/cloud/live-updates/faq/#general). How long does it take to add Live Updates to my app? Most teams have Live Updates running in their app within an afternoon. Install the SDK, connect it to Capawesome Cloud, and ship your first update — no infrastructure to set up and no DevOps expertise required. How much do Live Updates cost? Live Updates are part of Capawesome Cloud, with transparent flat-rate pricing and a 14-day free trial so you can try it before you commit. There are no surprise per-build or bandwidth fees — see the [pricing page](/pricing/) for details. Are Live Updates secure? Yes. Every update is delivered over HTTPS, and code signing is available on all plans — the recommended setup, where your app cryptographically verifies each update before installing it. Once configured, even a server compromise could not put a malicious update on your users' devices. How quickly are updates delivered to users? Updates are delivered almost instantly. When you deploy a Live Update, it becomes available on our global CDN within seconds. Users will receive the update automatically the next time they open your app or when the app checks for updates in the background. The download time depends on the update size and the user's network connection, but most updates are just a few megabytes and download in seconds. Can I roll out updates to a subset of users first? Yes. Channels let you ship updates to specific groups — internal testers, beta users, or a small percentage of production traffic — before promoting them to everyone. This lets you catch regressions early and roll out with confidence. Can I rollback an update if something goes wrong? Yes, you can easily rollback to a previous version at any time. Our platform maintains a complete history of all your Live Updates, allowing you to instantly revert to any previous version if you discover an issue. Devices that fail to launch cleanly after applying a new bundle revert to the last good version on their own and stop trying to install the broken bundle — every user repairs themselves without manual intervention. Rollbacks are deployed just as quickly as regular updates, typically taking effect within seconds. Are there any limitations for Live Updates? Yes, Live Updates are only supported for [binary-compatible changes](/docs/cloud/live-updates/faq/#what-are-binary-compatible-changes) (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and assets). This is a general limitation of the Live Updates technology itself, not a limitation of our SDK or platform. If you change native code, such as adding a new Capacitor plugin or updating native dependencies, you need to resubmit your app to the app stores. For this reason, you must be careful to [restrict Live Updates to compatible native versions](/blog/how-to-restrict-capacitor-live-updates-to-native-versions/) of your app. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need help with this. Which frameworks are supported? Live Updates work with Capacitor, Ionic, and Cordova apps on iOS and Android. Pure native iOS and Android apps are not supported, since the underlying technology relies on the web layer of your app. Can I migrate from Ionic Appflow or Capgo? Yes. We have helped many teams move from [Ionic Appflow](/alternatives/ionic-appflow/) and [Capgo](/alternatives/capgo/) with minimal downtime. If you would like a hand, reach out via the [contact page](/contact/). ## Ship your next update in real time Get started in under five minutes. 14-day free trial on every plan — cancel anytime.
