Capacitor

Overview

Capacitor wraps your web app in a native container and gives it access to native device APIs — camera, file system, push notifications, biometrics, geolocation, and more. Your existing React/Vue/Angular/Svelte app becomes an iOS and Android app without rewriting in Swift or Kotlin. Built by the Ionic team, it's the modern replacement for Cordova/PhoneGap.

When to Use

• Have a web app and want native iOS/Android versions
• Need native device features (camera, push notifications, biometrics)
• Want one codebase for web + iOS + Android
• Converting a PWA to a native app for App Store distribution
• Team knows web tech but not Swift/Kotlin
