Capacitor, an open-source cross-platform app runtime developed by the Ionic team, is on the verge of its version 1.0 release set for early June, offering an easier way to build web apps that run natively on iOS, Android, Electron, and the web. The runtime is designed to adhere closely to web standards while accessing native device features and is backward-compatible with Cordova, facilitating a smooth transition for existing Ionic apps. Recent efforts have focused on refining Capacitor's internals, updating dependencies, enhancing native project templates, and ensuring seamless integration with Ionic Angular, Ionic React, and the PWA Elements library, with significant community contributions aiding these enhancements. The documentation is being refreshed, with updated guides available, including a new guide on using Capacitor in Ionic Framework apps, and a webinar scheduled for May 22nd to discuss the latest updates and demonstrate Capacitor's native APIs. Capacitor is now ready for use in web and Ionic projects, with easy installation via npm.
