SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Choosing the right Capacitor plugin for native features like camera, biometrics, payments, or push notifications is difficult when options span official packages and a large community ecosystem. This Skill guides that decision with a structured process and per-plugin reference docs. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Official package guidance: Covers 35 official Capacitor packages with install commands, iOS/Android configuration, usage snippets, and platform-specific gotchas. - Capgo plugin catalog: Provides a 139-package catalog of @capgo/* plugins for cases where no official package exists or the official one is too limited. - Decision workflow: Checks official packages first, then escalates to Capgo or community plugins with exact package names and install commands. - Use Case: A developer needs biometric login in a Capacitor app. The Skill recommends @capgo/capacitor-native-biometric, explains why it fits better than official options, and gives the exact npm install and npx cap sync commands. ## Quick Start Ask which Capacitor plugin to use for a native feature such as push notifications, social login, or background geolocation.

Frequently Asked Questions about capacitor-plugins

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right Capacitor plugin for a native feature?▼

Check the official Capacitor package set first, since it covers common features like camera, filesystem, geolocation, and notifications. If no official package exists or it is too limited, escalate to a Capgo or community plugin from the catalog with the exact package name.

What Capacitor plugin should I use for biometric authentication?▼

Use `@capgo/capacitor-native-biometric` for biometric login on Android and iOS. There is no official Capacitor biometric package, so this Capgo plugin is the recommended option for fingerprint and face authentication.

How do I install a Capacitor plugin in my app?▼

Run `npm install <package-name>` followed by `npx cap sync` to install any official or Capgo plugin. Some plugins also require platform configuration such as Info.plist usage descriptions on iOS or permissions in AndroidManifest.xml on Android.

Does Capacitor support push notifications on iOS and Android?▼

Yes, the official `@capacitor/push-notifications` package supports FCM on Android and APNs on iOS. iOS requires the Push Notifications capability in Xcode, and Android requires a `google-services.json` file plus runtime permission on Android 13+.

When should I use a Capgo plugin instead of an official Capacitor package?▼

Use a Capgo plugin when no official package exists, the official one lacks required behavior, or you need a hosted Capgo workflow. Examples include live updates with `@capgo/capacitor-updater` and in-app purchases with `@capgo/native-purchases`.

What are the limitations of official Capacitor plugins?▼

Several official plugins have platform restrictions, such as push notifications lacking iOS silent push support and the screen reader plugin being native-only. The per-plugin references document these platform-specific constraints and required configuration.
