The electron platform is deprecated

[JoaoEdu93]

Hi!

I have an Ionic app and now I was deploying to Windows using Electron.
When I ran the command npx cap add electron I received the warning The electron platform is deprecated!
What is the reason for this warning? Is there a better alternative?

Hi @JoaoEdu93,

npx cap add electron is deprecated. Instead please refer to the documentation of the community version of the electron platform.

See: https://capacitor-community-electron-docs-site.vercel.app/getting-started
