Capacitor App Upgrade

Upgrade a Capacitor app project to a newer major version.

When to Use This Skill

• User wants to move a Capacitor app from one major version to another
• User is preparing for a multi-version jump
• User needs a safe fallback when automated migration does not complete cleanly

Live Project Snapshot

Current Capacitor packages from package.json: !node -e "const fs=require('fs');if(!fs.existsSync('package.json'))process.exit(0);const pkg=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json','utf8'));const out=[];for(const section of ['dependencies','devDependencies']){for(const [name,version] of Object.entries(pkg[section]||{})){if(name.startsWith('@capacitor/'))out.push(section+'.'+name+'='+version)}}console.log(out.sort().join('\n'))"

Native and Capacitor config paths: !find . -maxdepth 3 \( -name 'capacitor.config.json' -o -name 'capacitor.config.ts' -o -name 'capacitor.config.js' -o -path './ios' -o -path './android' \)
