The future of Live Updates is here, and it’s more performant than ever

Ionic's Appflow team has announced the beta release of a new Capacitor-based Live Updates SDK, designed to enhance performance and innovation for developers using their mobile CI/CD platform. This update allows for efficient, silent deployment of web code changes directly to users' apps, improving user experience by enabling quick fixes, feature additions, and performance optimizations without requiring app store downloads. The shift from a Cordova-based SDK to a Capacitor-based one allows functionality to move to the native layer, increasing execution speed and expanding development potential. This transition reflects a broader industry trend towards Capacitor due to its superior performance and extensibility. The new SDK offers benefits such as improved download speed and differential updates, and its migration process is designed to be seamless for current users. Further enhancements and features are expected as the SDK continues to evolve.
