Capacitor Plugin Upgrade v5 to v6
Upgrade a Capacitor plugin from version 5 to version 6.
When to Use This Skill
User says the plugin targets Capacitor 5 and must move to v6
User wants the exact v5 to v6 migration path
User needs v6 specific native and package updates
Live Project Snapshot
Plugin and Capacitor package snapshot:
! node e "const fs=require('fs');if(!fs.existsSync('package.json'))process.exit(0);const pkg=JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('package.json','utf8'));const out=['package.name='+(pkg.name ''),'package.version='+(pkg.version '')];for(const section of ['peerDependencies','dependencies','devDependencies']){for(const [name,version] of Object.entries(pkg[section] {})){if(name.startsWith('@capacitor/'))out.push(section+'.'+name+'='+version)}}console.log(out.join('\n'))"
Example and native project paths:
! find . maxdepth 3 \( path './example app' o path './ios' o path './android' \)
Procedure
1. Start from the injected snapshot and confirm the current Capacitor peer dependency range in package.json .
2. Update the peer dependency range to Capacitor 6.
3. Review the v5 to v6 migration notes before editing native files.
4. Update the example app if it exists.
5. Run npm install .
6. Sync and verify the example or test app.
Error Handling
If the example app breaks, fix the plugin API or native bridge before moving on.
If iOS fails, verify the deployment target for Capacitor 6.
If Android fails, verify the Gradle and Java requirements for Capacitor 6.
