## [Capawesome February 2026 Update](/blog/2026-february-update/)

The Capawesome February update is here! This update includes new features and improvements for [Capawesome Cloud](/docs/cloud/) and our [Plugins](/docs/sdks/capacitor/). Let's take a look at the most important changes.

## [Channel Surfing with Capacitor Live Updates](/blog/capawesome-cloud-channel-surfing/)

Need to deliver beta builds to testers, target updates by app version, or A/B test features — all without a new app store release? Channel surfing with the [Capacitor Live Update plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/live-update/) lets you switch between update channels on the fly and deliver different app experiences to different user segments.

## [How to Use TypeORM with Capacitor and SQLite](/blog/how-to-use-typeorm-with-capacitor-and-sqlite/)

Many developers already use TypeORM on the backend to manage databases with TypeScript decorators and a familiar repository pattern. The good news: the same approach works in Capacitor apps too. The [Capacitor SQLite plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/sqlite/) ships with a built-in `SQLiteConnection` class that plugs directly into TypeORM's `DataSource` — no additional adapter package required. This guide walks you through the complete setup, from defining entities to running queries and managing migrations.

For raw API usage, see the [Capacitor SQLite plugin documentation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/sqlite/#api).

## [How to Use Kysely with Capacitor and SQLite](/blog/how-to-use-kysely-with-capacitor-and-sqlite/)

Working with raw SQL in a Capacitor app gets messy fast — queries are just strings, results are untyped, and refactoring a column name means hunting through your entire codebase. Kysely solves this with a type-safe query builder that catches errors at compile time while keeping you close to SQL. In this guide, you'll learn how to set up Kysely with the [Capacitor SQLite plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/sqlite/) using the new `@capawesome/capacitor-sqlite-kysely` dialect.

For the **Capacitor SQLite plugin** API, see the [plugin documentation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/sqlite/#api).

## [How to Use Drizzle ORM with Capacitor and SQLite](/blog/how-to-use-drizzle-orm-with-capacitor-and-sqlite/)

If you're building a Capacitor app that needs a local database, you've probably dealt with writing raw SQL strings and mapping results manually. It works, but it's error-prone and doesn't scale well. Drizzle ORM offers a better approach: a lightweight, type-safe ORM that lets you define your schema in TypeScript and write queries that feel like SQL — with full autocompletion and compile-time checks. In this guide, you'll learn how to set up Drizzle ORM with the [Capacitor SQLite plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/sqlite/) using the new `@capawesome/capacitor-sqlite-drizzle` adapter. For the **Capacitor SQLite plugin** itself, see the [plugin documentation](/docs/sdks/capacitor/sqlite/#api).

## [Tips for Setting Up In-App Purchases with Capacitor](/blog/tips-for-setting-up-in-app-purchases-with-capacitor/)

Setting up in-app purchases in a mobile app involves more than just writing code. 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 [Capacitor Purchases plugin](/docs/sdks/capacitor/purchases/).

## [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 [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.
