Web App to Capacitor Migration

Migrate a production web app into a native-feeling Capacitor app that can pass app store review.

When to Use This Skill

• User asks how to turn a web app, PWA, or site into an iOS or Android app
• User wants to add Capacitor to an existing React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Next.js, Nuxt, Vite, or vanilla web app
• User is worried the app will be rejected as a thin WebView wrapper
• User needs a migration plan from web-only to app-store-ready mobile
• User asks about native permissions, safe areas, offline support, account deletion, mobile billing, or store testing for a converted web app

Community Lessons

Prioritize these risks before celebrating a successful native build:
