Ionic Appflow Migration

If you're moving off Ionic Appflow, this walks Claude through the full teardown: live updates, cloud builds, and store publishing. It starts by scanning your package.json and config files to figure out what Appflow features you're actually using, then breaks the migration into chunks instead of ripping everything out at once. Live updates get replaced with Capgo, builds move to your own CI/CD, and publishing shifts to repository workflows. The smart part is that it treats each Appflow feature as a separate handoff to more focused skills rather than trying to solve everything in one pass. Good for teams that built on Appflow years ago and now want control back without breaking production updates.

Ionic Appflow Migration

Replace each Appflow feature the project uses - Live Updates, native cloud builds, store deployment - and remove Appflow only after each replacement is verified.

Context: Ionic stopped selling Appflow in February 2025; existing customers keep access until December 31, 2027 with no new features. Plan the migration well before that date.

When to Use

TRIGGER when:

package.json has @capacitor/live-updates or cordova-plugin-ionic.
capacitor.config.* has plugins.LiveUpdates, or config.xml / Info.plist / strings.xml hold Appflow deploy keys (APP_ID, CHANNEL_NAME, UPDATE_METHOD, IonAppId, IonChannelName).
CI calls ionic deploy, appflow, ionic package build, or the Appflow dashboard triggers builds and store uploads.

Do not use for:

@ionic-enterprise/* plugins -> ionic-enterprise-sdk-migration.
Capawesome Cloud -> capawesome-live-update-migration.
Greenfield Capgo setup -> capgo-live-updates.
