Robin GenzMaintainer
Capawesome Cloud is a platform to deliver updates to your Capacitor app in real-time. For this purpose, we provide a Live Update SDK that you can integrate into your app. This Live Update SDK connects to our platform, where you can manage your updates and deploy them to your app.
Live Updates, also known as Over-the-Air (OTA) or hot code updates, are a way to deliver updates to your app without the need to resubmit it to the app stores. This allows you to fix bugs, add new features or change the design of your app in real-time.
Yes, Live Updates are compliant with the Apple App Store and Google Play Store policies. It is only not allowed to change the main purpose of your app through live updates (e.g. changing a game into a banking app). You can find more information in our documentation.
Yes, Live updates are only supported for binary-compatible changes (e.g. HTML, CSS, JavaScript). If you change native code, such as adding a new plugin, you need to resubmit your app to the app stores. For this reason, you must be careful to restrict Live Updates to compatible native versions of your app. Feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need help with this.
A Monthly Active User (MAU) is counted as a unique device that has synced with the Capawesome Cloud in the current month. For this purpose, the Live Update SDK generates a unique ID with which the device identifies itself to Capawesome Cloud. This ID is only valid for as long as the app is installed on the device.
If you reach the Monthly Active Users (MAU) limit of your current plan, we will notify you via email and give you the opportunity to upgrade your plan. As long as the limit is reached, no more live updates will be delivered to new devices. However, existing devices will still receive updates and your app will continue to work as usual. The limit is reset at the beginning of each month.
If you reach the Storage limit of your current plan, you will be notified when you try to upload a new bundle. You can either delete old bundles to free up space, upgrade your plan to increase the storage limit or host your bundles on your own server. There are also various options for automatically deleting old bundles so that you don't have to worry about the storage limit.
If you reach the Bandwidth limit of your current plan, we will notify you via email and give you the opportunity to upgrade your plan. As long as the limit is reached, no more live updates will be delivered to any devices. The limit is reset at the beginning of each month.
