Published
Capacitor+: Enhanced Capacitor with automated upstream sync - Cross-platform apps with JavaScript and the web
Readme
@capacitor-plus/android
The Android native runtime for Capacitor+.
What is Capacitor+?
Capacitor+ is an automated fork of Capacitor maintained by Capgo. It provides the same functionality as @capacitor/android with these benefits:
- Faster Updates: Get upstream fixes as soon as they pass CI, not months later
- Community PRs Merged: Valuable PRs stuck in the upstream queue are merged here
- Security Reviewed: Every change is analyzed by Claude Code for vulnerabilities
- Drop-in Replacement: Same native APIs, just a different package scope
Installation
npm install @capacitor-plus/android
npx cap add androidRequirements
- Android Studio
- Android SDK 22+ (target SDK 35)
- Java 21+
- Gradle 8+
Why Use This Instead of @capacitor/android?
The official Capacitor release cycle can leave bug fixes and improvements waiting for months. Capacitor+ automatically syncs with upstream daily, runs full CI (including Android builds and tests), and publishes verified releases immediately.
