Capacitor App Upgrade v6 to v7

Upgrade a Capacitor app from version 6 to version 7.

When to Use This Skill

• User says the app is on Capacitor 6 and must move to v7
• User wants the exact v6 to v7 migration path
• User needs v7-specific native and package updates

Live Project Snapshot

Current Capacitor packages from package.json: !node -e "const fs=require('fs');if(!fs.existsSync('package.json'))process.exit(0);const pkg=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json','utf8'));const out=[];for(const section of ['dependencies','devDependencies']){for(const [name,version] of Object.entries(pkg[section]||{})){if(name.startsWith('@capacitor/'))out.push(section+'.'+name+'='+version)}}console.log(out.sort().join('\n'))"

Procedure

1. Start from the injected package snapshot and confirm the current @capacitor/core version.
2. Update all @capacitor/* packages to the v7-compatible range.
3. Review the v6 to v7 migration notes before editing native files.
4. Run npm install.
5. Sync with npx cap sync.
6. Verify the iOS and Android builds.

Error Handling

• If the automated migration misses a package, update it manually before syncing again.
