Capacitor Config
Capacitor Config is the configuration system for Capacitor, an open-source cross-platform app runtime that enables web apps to run natively on iOS, Android, and the web. It manages app settings, native project configurations, and plugin options through a central configuration file (typically capacitor.config.json or capacitor.config.ts). This tool allows developers to define app metadata, permissions, and platform-specific settings without modifying native code directly.
Developers should use Capacitor Config when building hybrid mobile apps with Capacitor to centralize and manage app configurations across multiple platforms efficiently. It is essential for setting app identifiers, versioning, configuring plugins like Camera or Geolocation, and customizing native project builds (e.g., iOS entitlements or Android manifest settings), streamlining deployment and maintenance.
