Apps

Apps are the foundational entities in Capgo. Each app represents a unique Capacitor application that you can manage and update through the platform. The Apps API allows you to create, retrieve, update, and delete app configurations.

Understanding Apps

An app in Capgo represents your Capacitor application and includes:

• App ID: Unique identifier for your application
• Name: Human-readable name of your application
• Icons: Visual identifiers for your app in the dashboard
• Configuration: Settings that control how updates are delivered
• Ownership: Organization and user access information
• Usage Statistics: Metrics about installs and updates

Best Practices

1. Naming Convention: Use clear, identifiable names for your apps
2. Security: Protect your API keys and access credentials
3. Organization: Group related apps under the same organization
4. Monitoring: Regularly check app statistics and performance
5. Backup: Maintain configuration backups for critical apps
