What changed

This updates the Quasar Capacitor live updates guide to use @capgo/capacitor-updater instead of the Capawesome live update plugin who require subscription.

The guide now covers:

  • installing the Capgo updater plugin
  • configuring a manual, self-hosted update flow
  • calling notifyAppReady()
  • downloading and staging a bundle from a custom update endpoint
  • creating the Quasar web bundle with quasar build --skip-pkg
  • zipping the bundle with the Capgo CLI
  • using a free self-hosted path, with Capgo Cloud mentioned as the shared hosted option at the end

Why

Capgo provides an open-source updater plugin and a self-hosted path for teams that want to manage their own update infrastructure. This gives Quasar Capacitor users a free/manual live-update path while still leaving the hosted option available.

Validation

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  • pnpm --filter quasar build
  • pnpm prepare:types
  • pnpm --filter app-vite-playground-js exec quasar prepare
  • pnpm --filter app-vite-playground-ts exec quasar prepare
  • pnpm lint:check

Note: local commands emitted workspace Node engine warnings because this machine is running Node v25.9.0, while several Quasar packages request Node 22/24/26+ ranges. The final lint check passed.
