Upgrades a Capacitor app from v7 to v8 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest`, then the manual checklist - Node 22+, Xcode 26+, iOS deployment target 15.0, Android Studio Otter, AGP 8.13.0, Gradle 8.14.3, JDK 21, minSdk 24, compile/target SDK 36, Kotlin 2.2.20, Gradle `=` property assignment syntax, `density` in configChanges, removed `android.adjustMarginsForEdgeToEdge` (use the System Bars plugin and CSS env vars), `bridge_layout_main.xml` renamed, iOS `appendUserAgent`…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Capacitor App Upgrade v7 to v8

Move a Capacitor 7 app to Capacitor 8 (current stable line: 8.5.x). Source of truth: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/updating/8-0

## When to Use

- `@capacitor/core` in the snapshot below is `7.x` and the user wants `8.x`.
- After bumping to 8: content under the Android status/navigation bar (edge-to-edge), `bridge_layout_main` not found, Gradle "space-assignment syntax" deprecation warnings, Kotlin 2 `kotlinOptions` errors, or Geolocation timeouts.
- The user asks for the exact 7 -> 8 checklist.

Do not use:

- App on 6.x -> `capacitor-app-upgrade-v6-to-v7` first. Multi-hop planning -> `capacitor-app-upgrades`.
- App already on 8.x -> `capacitor-uiscene-migration` (8.5 scene lifecycle), then `capacitor-app-upgrade-v8-to-v9`.
- Plugin library upgrade -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v7-to-v8`.
- CocoaPods to SPM -> `cocoapods-to-spm`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cap-go/capgo-skills/capacitor-app-upgrade-v7-to-v8@sha256:2948904b13359f31

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.86834d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
