Choose between Auto and Manual

In auto mode, part of logic is handled by the Native code, updates are decided server side, this is more secure and allow fine grain update as AB test or Partial deploy.

In manual mode, all the logic is handled by the JS, that some good and some bad in both scenario.

Auto

Good ✅
  • No logic to handle, all is done for you
  • Auto-revert is handle for you
  • Statistics of updates available
  • Possibility to revert user
  • Channels to share version to your team
  • Define advanced strategies like AB test or partial deploy
Bad 🥲
  • Need to use SemVer
  • Can be problematic to use Capgo cloud for big corporate
  • Long to handle if you need on-premise server

Manual

Good ✅
  • Full control of the update logic
  • No need of version server
Bad 🥲
  • If your update fails, you will not be able to revert
  • Long to handle all scenario yourself

Open source

Everything is open source and under the AGPL-3.0 License.

💡 AGPL-3.0 mean if someone modify the code of the project, it’s mandatory to publish it, in open-source with same licensing. If you use the code without modification, that doesn’t concern you. See issue below for more details : https://github.com/Cap-go/capacitor-updater/issues/7

Last words

If you use this work for free, I couldn't suggest you more to support my work here. I made a big bet to open source all the precious code I built here. I could have kept it for myself and put a high ticket price. I want to focus on Capgo tooling, and make it an open and transparent business. I do think it would make our world a better place by opening instead of fighting and hiding. But to make it possible, it is necessary for all of us to do our part, including you 🥹.

If Capgo cloud offer can't suit you, then put your own price and back a bootstrapped Maker HERE on your own terms.
