--- name: capawesome-cloud description: "Guides the agent through setting up and using Capawesome Cloud for Capacitor apps. Covers three core workflows: (1) Native Builds — cloud builds for iOS and Android, signing certificates, environments, Trapeze configuration, and build artifacts; (2) Live Updates — OTA updates via the @capawesome/capacitor-live-update plugin, channels, versioning, rollbacks, and code signing; (3) App Store Publishing — automated submissions to Apple App Store (TestFlight) and Google Play Store. Includes CI/CD integration for all workflows. Do not use for non-Capacitor mobile frameworks." metadata: author: capawesome-team source: https://github.com/capawesome-team/skills/tree/main/skills/capawesome-cloud --- # Capawesome Cloud Set up and manage native builds, live updates, and app store publishing for Capacitor apps using Capawesome Cloud. ## Prerequisites 1. A [Capawesome Cloud](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io) account and organization. 2. A **Capacitor 6, 7, or 8** app. 3. Node.js and npm installed. 4. For **Native Builds**: The app must be in a Git repository (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps). 5. For **Apple App Store Publishing**: An active [Apple Developer Program](https://developer.apple.com/programs/) membership and an app created in [App Store Connect](https://appstoreconnect.apple.com). 6. For **Google Play Store Publishing**: A [Google Play Developer](https://play.google.com/console) account and an app created in Google Play Console with at least one version uploaded manually. ## General Rules Before running any `@capawesome/cli` command for the first time, run it with the `--help` flag to review all available options. ## Procedures ### Step 1: Authenticate with Capawesome Cloud ```bash npx @capawesome/cli login ``` For CI/CD, use token-based auth: ```bash npx @capawesome/cli login --token <token> ``` ### Step 2: Create an App in Capawesome Cloud Skip if the user already has an app ID. ```bash npx @capawesome/cli apps:create ``` The CLI prompts for organization and app name, then outputs the **app ID** (UUID). Save for subsequent steps. ### Step 3: Identify Required Feature(s) Ask the user which Capawesome Cloud feature(s) to set up: 1. **Native Builds** — Build iOS and Android apps in the cloud. 2. **Live Updates** — Push OTA web updates to deployed apps. 3. **App Store Publishing** — Automate submissions to Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The user may select one or more features. Proceed to the corresponding sections below. ### Native Builds Read `references/native-builds.md` for the full native builds setup and usage procedure. This covers: - Connecting a Git repository - Uploading signing certificates (Android keystores, iOS .p12 + provisioning profiles) - Configuring environments and secrets - Configuring build settings (monorepos, custom build commands) - Triggering builds - Monitoring and downloading build artifacts - Configuring native configuration overwriting with Trapeze - Setting up CI/CD pipelines ### Live Updates Read `references/live-updates.md` for the full live updates setup and usage procedure. This covers: - Installing the `@capawesome/capacitor-live-update` plugin - Configuring the plugin in Capacitor config - Adding rollback protection - Adding update logic (Always Latest, Manual Sync, Force Update) - Configuring iOS Privacy Manifest - Configuring version handling (versioned channels, versioned bundles) - Testing the setup ### App Store Publishing Read `references/app-store-publishing.md` for the full app store publishing setup and usage procedure. This covers: - Creating Apple App Store destinations (API Key or Apple ID auth) - Creating Google Play Store destinations - Deploying builds to destinations - Building and deploying in one step ## Error Handling ### Native Builds - `invalid source release: 21` → Set `JAVA_VERSION` env var to `17` or `21`. Read `references/build-troubleshooting.md`. - `JavaScript heap out of memory` → Set `NODE_OPTIONS` env var to `--max-old-space-size=4096`. Read `references/build-troubleshooting.md`. - Authentication errors → Re-run `npx @capawesome/cli login`. For CI/CD, verify the token. - Missing signing certificate → Upload via `apps:certificates:create`. Read `references/certificates-android.md` or `references/certificates-ios.md`. - Expired provisioning profile → Regenerate in Apple Developer Portal and re-upload. Read `references/certificates-ios.md`. - Web build step fails → Ensure `package.json` has `capawesome:build` or `build` script. Read `references/build-configuration.md`. ### Live Updates - `npx cap sync` fails → Verify plugin version matches Capacitor version in `package.json`. - Bundles not applied → Ensure `LiveUpdate.ready()` is called before `readyTimeout` expires. - App reverts to default bundle after restart → `ready()` likely not called. Add it early in app init. - Upload auth errors → Re-run `npx @capawesome/cli login`. - Updates not detected with `autoUpdateStrategy: "background"` → Updates only checked if last check was >15 min ago. Force-close and restart. - Read `references/live-update-plugin-api.md` for the full SDK API reference. - Read `references/live-update-faq.md` for compliance, billing, and limitations. ### App Store Publishing - Authentication errors → Re-run `npx @capawesome/cli login`. - Destination creation fails → Verify credentials. Read `references/apple-app-store-credentials.md` or `references/google-play-store-credentials.md`. - iOS build not appearing in TestFlight → Build processing may take time. Common causes: build number not incremented, missing Privacy Descriptions in `Info.plist`, insufficient permissions. - Google Play deployment fails → Ensure first version was uploaded manually. Verify service account has Release permissions. - Deployment timeout → Use `--detached` flag and check logs with `apps:deployments:logs`. - `apps:deployments:create` fails with "build not found" → Ensure the build completed successfully. - Cancel a stuck deployment → `npx @capawesome/cli apps:deployments:cancel --app-id <APP_ID> --deployment-id <DEPLOYMENT_ID>`. ## Related Skills - **`capacitor-app-development`** — For general Capacitor development topics, CI/CD patterns, and troubleshooting. - **`capawesome-cli`** — For the full Capawesome CLI command reference, project configuration, and CI/CD integration details. - **`capacitor-plugins`** — For installing and configuring Capacitor plugins, including the `@capawesome/capacitor-live-update` plugin. - **`ionic-appflow-migration`** — For migrating existing Ionic Appflow projects to Capawesome Cloud. - **`capacitor-in-app-purchases`** — For setting up in-app purchases and subscriptions before publishing to app stores.
