## [Exploring the Capacitor Live Update API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-live-update-api/)

This post is a tour of the [Capacitor Live Update plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/live-update/) API. We'll walk through every method, event, and configuration option the plugin exposes — what each one does, when to reach for it, and a working code snippet you can copy. The goal is breadth: by the end, you should have a clear map of the entire API surface and know exactly which call to make for any given situation.

If you're new to live updates and want strategy, setup, and a real-world end-to-end example first, start with [Capacitor Live Updates: A Complete Guide to OTA Updates](/blog/capacitor-live-updates-guide/) and come back here when you want the API reference.

## [Live Updates for Nuxt Capacitor Apps with Capawesome Cloud](/blog/live-updates-for-nuxt-capacitor/)

Live Updates, also known as Over-the-Air (OTA) or hot code updates, are a way to push updates to your Android or iOS app without going through the app store review process. This is particularly useful for fixing bugs, adding new features, or making changes to your app without requiring users to download a new version from the app store. For this, we will use the [Capacitor Live Update plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/live-update/) from Capawesome in combination with [Capawesome Cloud](/).

## [Exploring the Capacitor Biometrics API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-biometrics-api/)

Modern mobile applications increasingly rely on biometric authentication to provide secure and convenient user experiences. With the [Capacitor Biometrics plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/biometrics/) from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful biometric authentication capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, enabling fingerprint, face, and iris recognition across Android, iOS, and Web platforms through a unified API that simplifies the complexity of platform-specific biometric implementations.

This guide covers the **Capacitor Biometrics** API with practical examples and best practices. For the full **Capacitor Biometrics plugin documentation**, see the [API Reference](/docs/sdks/capacitor/biometrics/#api).

## [Exploring the Capacitor NFC API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-nfc-api/)

Near Field Communication (NFC) has become an essential technology for modern mobile applications, enabling seamless interactions between devices and smart objects. With the [Capacitor NFC plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/nfc/) from Capawesome, developers can integrate powerful NFC capabilities into their Ionic and Capacitor applications, bridging the gap between web technologies and native device features through a unified NFC API that works seamlessly across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, and Web.

## [How to Securely Store Credentials with Capacitor](/blog/how-to-securely-store-credentials-with-capacitor/)

A common requirement for mobile apps is secure storage of credentials (passwords, tokens, API keys) and user authentication via **biometrics** (fingerprint, Face ID). With Ionic's Identity Vault and Secure Storage [no longer maintained](https://ionic.io/blog/important-announcement-the-future-of-ionics-commercial-products), you can achieve the same with the [Capacitor Biometrics plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/biometrics/) and [Capacitor Secure Preferences plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/secure-preferences/). 

For a complete walkthrough on the Biometrcis plugin make sure to read [Exploring the Capacitor Biometrics API](/blog/exploring-the-capacitor-biometrics-api/).

## [Announcing the Capacitor Biometrics Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-biometrics-plugin/)

Today we are excited to announce our [Capacitor Biometrics plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/biometrics/). It lets you request **biometric authentication** (Face ID, fingerprint) and device credentials (PIN, pattern, password) on Android and iOS through a single API. The plugin is available to all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/).

## [Announcing the Capacitor Secure Preferences Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-secure-preferences-plugin/)

Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Secure Preferences plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/secure-preferences/). This plugin is a drop-in replacement for the official [Capacitor Preferences](https://capacitorjs.com/docs/apis/preferences) plugin and allows you to securely store key/value pairs such as passwords, tokens or other sensitive information. The plugin provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS and Web and is now available to all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/).

## [Announcing the Capacitor Audio Recorder Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-audio-recorder-plugin/)

Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Audio Recorder plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/audio-recorder/). This plugin enables recording audio in your Capacitor app and provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS and web. It's available to all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/).

## [Announcing the Capacitor Contacts Plugin](/blog/announcing-the-capacitor-contacts-plugin/)

Today we are excited to announce our brand new [Capacitor Contacts plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/contacts/). This plugin allows you to access the device's contacts and provides cross-platform support for Android, iOS, and Web. The project is now available for all Capawesome [Insiders](/docs/insiders/).

## [Updating to Capacitor 7.0](/blog/updating-to-capacitor-7/)

Capacitor 7.0 is finally here and brings a lot of improvements! Make sure to check out the [official announcement post](https://ionic.io/blog/capacitor-7-has-hit-ga) from the Ionic team. In this article, you can find out what breaking changes have been made to the Capawesome plugins.
