Capacitor Best Practices

This covers the production-ready stuff for Capacitor apps that usually gets learned the hard way. It walks through keeping core packages in sync (a common source of crashes), proper plugin initialization with availability checks, and security practices like using native biometric storage instead of plain preferences. The performance section is solid on lazy loading plugins and minimizing bridge calls. What I appreciate is the CORRECT/INCORRECT pattern throughout, it makes the guidance immediately actionable rather than theoretical. The error handling section addresses real scenarios like users canceling camera permissions versus actual failures. If you're setting up a new Capacitor project or reviewing one that's headed to production, this gives you a checklist of things that'll bite you if missed.

Capacitor Best Practices

Review a Capacitor app for structural mistakes that cause broken builds, lost edits, production leaks, and plugin crashes. Route deep topics to the sibling skill that owns them.

When to Use

Use the selected project and its installed dependencies. Package installation and migration tools execute code; limit them to the requested setup or upgrade, preserve the lockfile and existing changes, and review generated edits before running changed build scripts.
