Devices

Data Retention

Device data is retained for 90 days from the last device activity. Devices that haven’t connected to Capgo within this period will be automatically removed from the list. Active devices are continuously tracked as they check for updates.

Show the list of all devices

First, let’s take a look at the devices page. You can access it by clicking on your app and then clicking on the devices tab.

1. Devices tab - Click this tab in the navigation bar to access the devices page
2. Filters - Click to filter devices by:
   • Override - Show only devices that have a custom channel or a custom version
   • Custom ID - Show only devices with a custom identifier set

Configuring a device

To configure a specific device click on it in the table and then you should see something like this:

1. Information - View device details including Device ID, Last update, Platform, Plugin version, Version, Version builtin, OS version, and whether it’s a Production app
2. Deployments - View the deployment history for this device
3. Logs - View logs associated with this device
4. Channel override - Override the channel for this specific device. If set, this device will not use the public (default) channel and will only receive updates from the selected channel

Custom ID

The Custom ID is a very useful field that helps you connect the device to an ID you can recognize for your own users.

Use it to easily identify which device belongs to which user.

Custom ID can only be set from the device itself using CapacitorUpdater.setCustomId({ customId: user });
