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 [Capacitor OAuth plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/oauth/) 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 [Capacitor Google Sign-In plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/google-sign-in/) 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/sdks/capacitor/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 [Capacitor Secure Preferences plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/secure-preferences/). No SQL, no schema; when you need more, use the same **Capacitor SQLite plugin** and the full [plugin documentation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/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 — all three plugins sunset on December 31, 2027\. If your Capacitor app relies on any of them, you need a replacement before the end-of-life date. 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 [Capacitor OAuth plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/oauth/) 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/) Looking for an Ionic Auth Connect alternative for your Capacitor app? Ionic [announced the discontinuation of its commercial products](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products) on February 11, 2025, and Auth Connect reaches its end of life on December 31, 2027\. The Capawesome [Capacitor OAuth plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/oauth/) provides a modern, production-ready replacement that supports OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect with PKCE across Android, iOS, and Web. ## [Capacitor OAuth Plugin: OAuth 2.0 & OpenID](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-oauth-plugin/) 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](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products), including Auth Connect, many teams building Capacitor apps are now looking for a reliable alternative. That's why we built the [Capacitor OAuth plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/oauth/) — 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](/docs/insiders/). ## [Alternative to the Ionic Identity Vault Plugin](/blog/alternative-to-ionic-identity-vault-plugin/) Looking for a way to protect sensitive data and authenticate users in your Capacitor app? With [Ionic discontinuing](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products) their commercial Identity Vault plugin, developers need a reliable alternative for **biometric authentication** (Face ID, fingerprint) and secure session management. The [Capacitor Vault plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/vault/) from Capawesome is a near drop-in replacement — same active lock pattern, the same method names for the core operations, multi-vault support out of the box, and no enterprise subscription required. For background on the plugin, see our [announcement post](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-vault-plugin/). ## [Updating to Capacitor 8.0](/blog/updating-to-capacitor-8/) Capacitor 8.0 is finally here and brings a lot of improvements! Make sure to check out the [official announcement post](https://ionic.io/blog/announcing-capacitor-8) from the Ionic team. In this article, you can find out what breaking changes have been made to the Capawesome plugins. For a complete upgrade guide covering all migration approaches, see [How to Upgrade Your Capacitor App to Capacitor 8](/blog/how-to-upgrade-your-capacitor-app-to-capacitor-8/) or [How to Upgrade Your Capacitor Plugin to Capacitor 8](/blog/how-to-upgrade-your-capacitor-plugin-to-capacitor-8/). Jumping straight from Capacitor 6? Check [Updating to Capacitor 7.0](/blog/updating-to-capacitor-7/) first for the breaking changes you'd otherwise skip over. ## [Capacitor Live Update Plugin 7.3.0 Release](/blog/capacitor-live-update-7-3-0-release/) We are excited to announce version 7.3.0 of the [Capacitor Live Update plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/live-update/)! This release introduces two powerful features that make managing over-the-air (OTA) updates even easier: automatic update strategies and rollback protection. These enhancements reduce the amount of code you need to write while providing a more robust update experience for your users. Back to top
