Cordova to Capacitor Migration

Move a Cordova app onto Capacitor incrementally: Capacitor first, plugins one by one, Cordova removed last.

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

• config.xml, platforms/, plugins/, cordova-android/cordova-ios, or cordova-plugin-* are present and the user wants Capacitor.
• Code waits on deviceready or calls navigator.camera, window.plugins.*, cordova.plugins.*, @awesome-cordova-plugins/*, @ionic-native/*.
• After migration: data loss on first launch, missing Cordova plugin behaviour, or Capacitor 9 build errors referencing Cordova symbols.

Do not use for:

• Rewriting a Cordova plugin's Java/Objective-C as a Capacitor plugin (plugin-level port) -> follow Capacitor plugin docs; capacitor-plugins for existing replacements.
• Upgrading Capacitor majors -> capacitor-app-upgrades.
• Replacing Appflow Live Updates (cordova-plugin-ionic) -> ionic-appflow-migration + capgo-live-updates.
• Framework build config (Angular output path, Vite) -> framework-to-capacitor.
