Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Privacy manifest

Add the NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryUserDefaults dictionary key to your Privacy Manifest (usually ios/App/PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

</plist>

We recommend to declare CA92.1 as the reason for accessing the UserDefaults API.

Installation

Step by step here: Getting started

Or

npm install @capgo/capacitor-updater
npx cap sync

Auto-update setup

Create your account in capgo.app and get your API key

  • Login to CLI npx @capgo/cli@latest init API_KEY And follow the steps by step to setup your app.

For detailed instructions on the auto-update setup, refer to the Auto update documentation.

No Cloud setup

Download update distribution zipfiles from a custom URL. Manually control the entire update process.

  • Edit your capacitor.config.json like below, set autoUpdate to false.
// capacitor.config.json
{
	"appId": "**.***.**",
	"appName": "Name",
	"plugins": {
		"CapacitorUpdater": {
			"autoUpdate": false,
		}
	}
}
  • Add to your main code
  import { CapacitorUpdater } from '@capgo/capacitor-updater'
  CapacitorUpdater.notifyAppReady()

This informs Capacitor Updater that the current update bundle has loaded successfully. Failing to call this method will cause your application to be rolled back to the previously successful version (or built-in bundle).

  • Add this to your application.
  const version = await CapacitorUpdater.download({
    version: '0.0.4',
    url: 'https://github.com/Cap-go/demo-app/releases/download/0.0.4/dist.zip',
  })
  await CapacitorUpdater.set(version); // sets the new version, and reloads the app
  • Failed updates will automatically roll back to the last successful version.
  • Example: Using App-state to control updates, with SplashScreen: You might also consider performing auto-update when application state changes, and using the Splash Screen to improve user experience.
  import { CapacitorUpdater, VersionInfo } from '@capgo/capacitor-updater'
  import { SplashScreen } from '@capacitor/splash-screen'
  import { App } from '@capacitor/app'

  let version: VersionInfo;
  App.addListener('appStateChange', async (state) => {
      if (state.isActive) {
        // Ensure download occurs while the app is active, or download may fail
        version = await CapacitorUpdater.download({
          version: '0.0.4',
          url: 'https://github.com/Cap-go/demo-app/releases/download/0.0.4/dist.zip',
        })
      }

      if (!state.isActive && version) {
        // Activate the update when the application is sent to background
        SplashScreen.show()
        try {
          await CapacitorUpdater.set(version);
          // At this point, the new version should be active, and will need to hide the splash screen
        } catch () {
          SplashScreen.hide() // Hide the splash screen again if something went wrong
        }
      }
  })

TIP: If you prefer a secure and automated way to update your app, you can use capgo.app - a full-featured, auto-update system.

Store Guideline Compliance

Android Google Play and iOS App Store have corresponding guidelines that have rules you should be aware of before integrating the Capacitor-updater solution within your application.

Google play

Third paragraph of Device and Network Abuse topic describe that updating source code by any method besides Google Play's update mechanism is restricted. But this restriction does not apply to updating JavaScript bundles.

This restriction does not apply to code that runs in a virtual machine and has limited access to Android APIs (such as JavaScript in a web view or browser).

That fully allow Capacitor-updater as it updates just JS bundles and can't update native code part.

App Store

Paragraph 3.3.2, since back in 2015's Apple Developer Program License Agreement fully allowed performing over-the-air updates of JavaScript and assets.

And in its latest version (20170605) downloadable here this ruling is even broader:

Interpreted code may be downloaded to an Application, but only so long as such code:

  • (a) does not change the primary purpose of the Application by providing features or functionality that are inconsistent with the intended and advertised purpose of the Application as submitted to the App Store
  • (b) does not create a store or storefront for other code or applications
  • (c) does not bypass signing, sandbox, or other security features of the OS.

Capacitor-updater allows you to respect these rules in full compliance, so long as the update you push does not significantly deviate your product from its original App Store approved intent.

To further remain in compliance with Apple's guidelines, we suggest that App Store-distributed apps don't enable the Force update scenario, since in the App Store Review Guidelines it is written that:

Apps must not force users to rate the app, review the app, download other apps, or other similar actions to access functionality, content, or use of the app.

This is not a problem for the default behavior of background update, since it won't force the user to apply the new version until the next app close, but at least you should be aware of that ruling if you decide to show it.

Packaging dist.zip update bundles

Capacitor Updater works by unzipping a compiled app bundle to the native device filesystem. Whatever you choose to name the file you upload/download from your release/update server URL (via either manual or automatic updating), this .zip bundle must meet the following requirements:

  • The zip file should contain the full contents of your production Capacitor build output folder, usually {project directory}/dist/ or {project directory}/www/. This is where index.html will be located, and it should also contain all bundled JavaScript, CSS, and web resources necessary for your app to run.
  • Do not password encrypt the bundle zip file, or it will fail to unpack.
  • Make sure the bundle does not contain any extra hidden files or folders, or it may fail to unpack.

Updater Plugin Config

CapacitorUpdater can be configured with these options:

| Prop | Type | Description | Default | Since | | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | appReadyTimeout | number | Configure the number of milliseconds the native plugin should wait before considering an update 'failed'.

API

notifyAppReady()

notifyAppReady() => Promise<AppReadyResult>

Notify the native layer that JavaScript initialized successfully.

CRITICAL: You must call this method on every app launch to prevent automatic rollback.

This is a simple notification to confirm that your bundle's JavaScript loaded and executed. The native web server successfully served the bundle files and your JS runtime started. That's all it checks - nothing more complex.

What triggers rollback:

  • NOT calling this method within the timeout (default: 10 seconds)
  • Complete JavaScript failure (bundle won't load at all)

What does NOT trigger rollback:

  • Runtime errors after initialization (API failures, crashes, etc.)
  • Network request failures
  • Application logic errors

IMPORTANT: Call this BEFORE any network requests. Don't wait for APIs, data loading, or async operations. Call it as soon as your JavaScript bundle starts executing to confirm the bundle itself is valid.

Best practices:

  • Call immediately in your app entry point (main.js, app component mount, etc.)
  • Don't put it after network calls or heavy initialization
  • Don't wrap it in try/catch with conditions
  • Adjust {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.appReadyTimeout} if you need more time

Returns: Promise<AppReadyResult>


setUpdateUrl(...)

setUpdateUrl(options: UpdateUrl) => Promise<void>

Set the update URL for the app dynamically at runtime.

This overrides the {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.updateUrl} config value. Requires {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.allowModifyUrl} to be set to true.

Use {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.persistModifyUrl} to persist this value across app restarts. Otherwise, the URL will reset to the config value on next app launch.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | | options | UpdateUrl | Contains the URL to use for checking for updates. |

Since: 5.4.0


setStatsUrl(...)

setStatsUrl(options: StatsUrl) => Promise<void>

Set the statistics URL for the app dynamically at runtime.

This overrides the {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.statsUrl} config value. Requires {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.allowModifyUrl} to be set to true.

Pass an empty string to disable statistics gathering entirely. Use {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.persistModifyUrl} to persist this value across app restarts.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | options | StatsUrl | Contains the URL to use for sending statistics, or an empty string to disable. |

Since: 5.4.0


setChannelUrl(...)

setChannelUrl(options: ChannelUrl) => Promise<void>

Set the channel URL for the app dynamically at runtime.

This overrides the {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.channelUrl} config value. Requires {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.allowModifyUrl} to be set to true.

Use {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.persistModifyUrl} to persist this value across app restarts. Otherwise, the URL will reset to the config value on next app launch.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | | options | ChannelUrl | Contains the URL to use for channel operations. |

Since: 5.4.0


download(...)

download(options: DownloadOptions) => Promise<BundleInfo>

Download a new bundle from the provided URL for later installation.

The downloaded bundle is stored locally but not activated. To use it:

  • Call {@link next} to set it for installation on next app backgrounding/restart
  • Call {@link set} to activate it immediately (destroys current JavaScript context)

The URL should point to a zip file containing either:

  • Your app files directly in the zip root, or
  • A single folder containing all your app files

The bundle must include an index.html file at the root level.

For encrypted bundles, provide the sessionKey and checksum parameters. For multi-file partial updates, provide the manifest array.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | options | DownloadOptions | The {@link DownloadOptions} for downloading a new bundle zip. |

Returns: Promise<BundleInfo>


next(...)

next(options: BundleId) => Promise<BundleInfo>

Set the next bundle to be activated when the app backgrounds or restarts.

This is the recommended way to apply updates as it doesn't interrupt the user's current session. The bundle will be activated when:

  • The app is backgrounded (user switches away), or
  • The app is killed and relaunched, or
  • {@link reload} is called manually

Unlike {@link set}, this method does NOT destroy the current JavaScript context immediately. Your app continues running normally until one of the above events occurs.

Use {@link setMultiDelay} to add additional conditions before the update is applied.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | options | BundleId | Contains the ID of the bundle to set as next. Use {@link BundleInfo.id} from a downloaded bundle. |

Returns: Promise<BundleInfo>


set(...)

set(options: BundleId) => Promise<void>

Set the current bundle and immediately reloads the app.

IMPORTANT: This is a terminal operation that destroys the current JavaScript context.

When you call this method:

  • The entire JavaScript context is immediately destroyed
  • The app reloads from a different folder with different files
  • NO code after this call will execute
  • NO promises will resolve
  • NO callbacks will fire
  • Event listeners registered after this call are unreliable and may never fire

The reload happens automatically - you don't need to do anything else. If you need to preserve state like the current URL path, use the {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.keepUrlPathAfterReload} config option. For other state preservation needs, save your data before calling this method (e.g., to localStorage).

Do not try to execute additional logic after calling set() - it won't work as expected.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | options | BundleId | A {@link BundleId} object containing the new bundle id to set as current. |


delete(...)

delete(options: BundleId) => Promise<void>

Delete a bundle from local storage to free up disk space.

You cannot delete:

  • The currently active bundle
  • The builtin bundle (the version shipped with your app)
  • The bundle set as next (call {@link next} with a different bundle first)

Use {@link list} to get all available bundle IDs.

Note: The bundle ID is NOT the same as the version name. Use the id field from {@link BundleInfo}, not the version field.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | options | BundleId | A {@link BundleId} object containing the bundle ID to delete. |


setBundleError(...)

setBundleError(options: BundleId) => Promise<BundleInfo>

Manually mark a bundle as failed/errored in manual update mode.

This is useful when you detect that a bundle has critical issues and want to prevent it from being used again. The bundle status will be changed to error and the plugin will avoid using this bundle in the future.

Requirements:

  • {@link PluginsConfig.CapacitorUpdater.allowManualBundleError} must be set to true
  • Only works in manual update mode (when autoUpdate is disabled)

Common use case: After downloading and testing a bundle, you discover it has critical bugs and want to mark it as failed so it won't be retried.

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | options | BundleId | A {@link BundleId} object containing the bundle ID to mark as errored. |

Returns: Promise<BundleInfo>

Since: 7.20.0


list(...)

list(options?: ListOptions | undefined) => Promise<BundleListResult>

Get all locally downloaded bundles stored in your app.

This returns all bundles that have been downloaded and are available locally, including:

  • The currently active bundle
  • The builtin bundle (shipped with your app)
  • Any downloaded bundles waiting to be activated
  • Failed bundles (with error status)

Use this to:

  • Check available disk space by counting bundles
  • Delete old bundles with {@link delete}
  • Monitor bundle download status

| Param | Type | Description | | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | options | ListOptio
