chore: upgrade Capacitor 7 to 8 (and Firebase 11 to 12)#54
Merged
Conversation
Coordinated upgrade following the official Capacitor 8 migration guide. Firebase rides along because @capacitor-firebase/authentication 8.x requires firebase ^12.6.0 as a peer dependency. - @capacitor/core, ios, android, cli → 8.3.0 - All @capacitor/* plugins → 8.x - @capacitor-firebase/authentication → 8.2.0 (firebase 11 → 12.11.0) - @capacitor-mlkit/barcode-scanning → 8.0.1 - @capawesome-team/capacitor-nfc → 8.1.0 - @capawesome/capacitor-live-update → 8.2.1 - @capacitor-community/keep-awake → 8.0.0 - @capgo/capacitor-shake → 8.0.24 - @revenuecat/purchases-capacitor → 12.3.1 - capacitor-plugin-safe-area → 5.0.0 - capacitor-zeroconf left at 4.0.0 (no v8 release; permissive peer dep) Android: minSdk 23 → 24, compile/target 35 → 36, AGP 8.7.2 → 8.13.0, Gradle 8.11.1 → 8.14.3, google-services 4.4.2 → 4.4.4, all androidx versions bumped per the upgrade guide, density added to configChanges, Gradle property name = value syntax fix in app/build.gradle. iOS: project deployment target 14.0 → 15.0 (Capacitor 8 minimum). App target deployment kept at 15.5. Fixed pre-existing stale pnpm path in Podfile for CapacitorFirebaseAuthentication/Google. Source: tightened !barcode guards to !barcode?.rawValue in useScanOperations.tsx and create.mappings.tsx — barcode-scanner v8 made Barcode.rawValue optional. New tests cover both branches. Cleanup: removed dead <uses-sdk minSdkVersion="10"> from AndroidManifest.xml (overridden by build.gradle since AGP 7), removed androidxCameraCoreVersion override that was causing camera library version skew with the v8 plugin defaults, added the missing androidxCredentialsPlayServicesAuthVersion sibling override to align with androidxCredentialsVersion, narrowed eslint .claude ignore to .claude/worktrees/**. Supersedes Dependabot PRs #48 #49 #51 #52, which will auto-resolve once this lands on main.

Cannot ship as a Capawesome live update — the native bridge changed. Requires a store release with version bumps in
