Upgrades a Capacitor plugin library from v7 to v8 using `npx @capacitor/plugin-migration-v7-to-v8@latest`, then the manual checklist - dev deps `^8.0.0` and peer `@capacitor/core` `>=8.0.0`, minSdk 24 and compile/target SDK 36 defaults, AndroidX dependency defaults, AGP 8.13.0, Gradle 8.14.3, Gradle `=` property assignment syntax, Java 21, Kotlin 2.2.20 (`kotlinOptions` to `compilerOptions`, no `kotlin-android-extensions`), google-services 4.4.4, iOS 15 in podspec and `Package.swift`…

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 Plugin Upgrade v7 to v8

Move a plugin library to Capacitor 8. Source of truth: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/updating/plugins/8-0

## When to Use

- Snapshot shows `@capacitor/core` 7.x and the plugin must work in Capacitor 8 apps.
- Building the plugin against Kotlin 2.2 fails on `kotlinOptions` or `kotlin-android-extensions`.
- Gradle warns `Properties should be assigned using the 'propName = value' syntax`.

Do not use:

- Upgrading an app -> `capacitor-app-upgrade-v7-to-v8`.
- Plugin on 6.x -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v6-to-v7` first. Multi-hop -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrades`.
- Plugin already on 8.x -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v8-to-v9`.
- Adding SPM -> `capacitor-plugin-spm-support`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cap-go/capgo-skills/capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v7-to-v8@sha256:a4719b0f29a4f975

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.d581247, 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.
