Migration path

Move from MobiLoud to Capacitor and Capgo

MobiLoud apps publish under your own developer accounts, so a Capacitor build can ship as an update to the same store listings.

  1. Create a Capacitor app around your site

    In your web project run bun add @capacitor/core @capacitor/cli @capacitor/ios @capacitor/android and bunx cap init, using the same bundle ID as your current store listing.

  2. Add native features with plugins

    Add push, deep links, and analytics with plugins such as @capacitor/push-notifications, then run bunx cap add ios and bunx cap add android.

  3. Ship with Capgo

    Run bunx @capgo/cli@latest init, build signed binaries in Capgo Cloud, and push later web changes with bunx @capgo/cli@latest bundle upload.
