In case you missed it, check out the [May 2025 update](./2025-may-update.md) to catch up on what shipped last month.

## CLI

### Uploading bundles larger than 100 MB

Starting with version 1.13.0, the [Capawesome CLI](../../cloud/cli/index.md) now supports uploading bundles larger than 100 MB. This feature is particularly useful for apps with large assets or dependencies. The CLI automatically splits the bundle into smaller chunks and uploads them in parallel, ensuring a faster and more reliable upload process.

## Plugins

We have made several improvements to our plugins this month, enhancing their functionality and usability. This section highlights the most significant changes.

### App Shortcuts

##### Support Base64 encoded icons

The [Capacitor App Shortcuts plugin](../../sdks/capacitor/app-shortcuts.md) has been updated to support Base64 encoded icons on Android. This allows developers to use icons directly from their code without needing to store them as separate files, simplifying the development process and allowing for more dynamic icon management.

### Biometrics

##### Add `enroll()` method

The [Capacitor Biometrics plugin](../../sdks/capacitor/biometrics.md) now supports prompting users to enroll their biometrics. The new `enroll()` method allows developers to trigger the biometric enrollment process, enabling users to set up their biometrics directly from the app. This feature enhances user experience by making it easier to enroll biometrics without navigating to device settings.

```ts
import { Biometrics } from '@capawesome/capacitor-biometric';

const enroll = async () => {
  try {
    await Biometrics.enroll();
    console.log('Biometric enrollment successful');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Biometric enrollment failed:', error);
  }
};
```

This method is only available on Android.

### File Picker

##### Support for iOS for the `copyFile(...)` method

The [Capacitor File Picker plugin](../../sdks/capacitor/file-picker.md) has been enhanced with support for the `copyFile(...)` method on iOS. This feature allows developers to copy files within the app's file system, making it easier to manage picked files and organize them as needed.

```ts
import { FilePicker } from '@capawesome/capacitor-file-picker';
import { Directory, Filesystem } from '@capacitor/filesystem';

const copyFile = async () => {
  const { uri: toUri } = await Filesystem.getUri({
    directory: Directory.Documents,
    path: 'old/file.txt',
  });
  const { uri: fromUri } = await Filesystem.getUri({
    directory: Directory.Documents,
    path: 'new/file.txt',
  });
  await FilePicker.copyFile({
    from: fromUri,
    to: toUri,
    overwrite: true,
  });
};
```
