Upgrades a Capacitor app from v5 to v6 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest-6`, then the manual checklist - Node 18+, Xcode 15+, Android Studio Hedgehog, AGP 8.2.1, Gradle 8.2.1, compile/target SDK 34, `compileSdkVersion` to `compileSdk`, the `androidScheme` default flipping to `https` (data loss risk), iOS local plugins no longer auto-registered, iOS zoom disabled by default, and official plugin breaking changes (`addListener` returns only a Promise, Camera Photo Picker…

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 v5 to v6

Move a Capacitor 5 app to Capacitor 6. Source of truth: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/updating/6-0

## When to Use

- `@capacitor/core` in the snapshot below is `5.x` and the user wants `6.x`.
- After upgrading: Android users lose localStorage/cookies, a local (non-npm) iOS plugin reports `"<Name>" plugin is not implemented on ios`, pinch-zoom stopped working on iOS, or TypeScript errors around `addListener`.
- The user asks for the exact 5 -> 6 checklist.

Do not use:

- App on 4.x -> `capacitor-app-upgrade-v4-to-v5` first. On 6.x -> `capacitor-app-upgrade-v6-to-v7`. Multi-hop planning -> `capacitor-app-upgrades`.
- Plugin library upgrade -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v5-to-v6`.
- Moving iOS from CocoaPods to SPM (experimental in 6) -> `cocoapods-to-spm`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cap-go/capgo-skills/capacitor-app-upgrade-v5-to-v6@sha256:0675206fdfb6d9dc

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.
