Capacitor Best Practices

Review a Capacitor app for structural mistakes that cause broken builds, lost edits, production leaks, and plugin crashes. Route deep topics to the sibling skill that owns them.

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

• The user asks for a general code/architecture review of a Capacitor or Ionic + Capacitor app.
• Setting up a new Capacitor project or adding iOS/Android to an existing web app.
• capacitor.config.ts|json review: webDir, server.url, cleartext, plugin config, env-specific config.
• Version drift between @capacitor/core, @capacitor/cli, @capacitor/ios, @capacitor/android, or plugin majors that do not match Capacitor's major.
• Plugin usage review: missing npx cap sync, no availability check, no permission flow, matching on error message strings.
• Errors such as "<Plugin>" plugin is not implemented on ios, Could not find the web assets directory, ios platform has not been added yet.
• Pre-release sanity checklist across config, native projects, and live updates.
