In a significant shift for the open-source ionic-native project, community member Daniel Sogl has taken over its maintenance, and the project has been renamed awesome-cordova-plugins to reflect its focus on Cordova plugins. This change addresses confusion among developers who expected to find Capacitor plugins within ionic-native, as Capacitor has become the standard native runtime for new Ionic apps since its release in 2018. While ionic-native will remain available through a two-year deprecation period, developers are encouraged to migrate to the new @awesome-cordova registry. This transition aims to simplify the discovery of quality plugins for both Cordova and Capacitor users, with updated documentation forthcoming. Despite the changes, the impact on developers is expected to be minimal, as Daniel Sogl has been the core maintainer for years, and measures have been taken to enhance plugin quality assurance.
