capgo-release-workflows
Guides the agent through setting up Capgo-centered release workflows for Capacitor apps. Use when the user needs a unified path for live updates, native builds, and app store publishing using Capgo plus repository-owned CI/CD. Do not use for non-Capacitor frameworks or for Ionic Enterprise plugin mi

Capgo Release Workflows
Set up release workflows for Capacitor apps using Capgo live updates plus repository owned build and publishing automation.
When to Use This Skill
User wants one release workflow covering live updates, builds, and store publishing
User is replacing a hosted release service with repo owned automation
User wants Capgo for OTA updates and standard CI/CD for native artifacts
Scope
This skill coordinates three workflow areas:
live updates capgo live updates
native builds capacitor ci cd
app store publishing capacitor app store
Use this skill as the top level router when the user asks for the whole release system, not just one piece.
Procedures
Step 1: Identify Release Requirements
Determine whether the app needs:
OTA web updates
signed iOS and Android builds
TestFlight or Google Play publishing
staged channels or phased rollout
Record which parts already exist in the repository.
Step 2: Set Up Live Updates
If OTA updates are required, use the capgo live updates skill.
Preserve the app's release channel structure and define the rollback strategy before enabling automatic rollout.
Step 3: Set Up Native Build Automation
If the team needs reproducible native builds, use the capacitor ci cd skill.
Keep signing, build environment variables, and version bumping under repository control.
Step 4: Set Up Store Publishing
If automated publishing is required, use the capacitor app store skill.
Keep credentials, track selection, and release gating aligned with the current release policy.
Step 5: Verify the End to End Release Flow
Verify the workflow in order:
1. native build succeeds
2. store artifact is valid
3. live update upload works for the matching app version
4. rollback and channel targeting behave as expected
Error Handling
For OTA setup issues, validate the Capgo plugin startup and rollback path before enabling broad rollout.
For CI/CD failures, fix signing and environment inputs before changing release logic.
For store publishing failures, isolate Apple and Google pipelines so one platform does not block diagnosis of the other.
