{% hint style="warning" %} ⚠️ Update OTA(Over the Air) only works on HTML, CSS, JS changes.
When you update native code (capacitor plugin), you must resubmit to the app store. {% endhint %}

In cloud auto mode, logic is handled by Capgo backend, updates are decided server side, this is more secure and allow fine grain update, partial deploy to one device or group and more.
In cloud manual mode the logic of when update is handled by your JS, the Capgo backend still handle the what to update.

In self-hosted auto mode, you have to recreate the update logic in your backend.
In self-hosted manual mode the logic of when update is handled by your JS, the server still handle the what to update.
Or lastly you can go in manual mode without backend, all the logic have to be handled by your JS.

****
Manual mode can lead to very complex issue since you ship the code for update withing the update itself.

{% content-ref url="plugin/auto-update.md" %} auto-update.md {% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="plugin/manual-mode.md" %} manual-mode.md {% endcontent-ref %}

You can include it in your app without worring

If you use this tool for free, take time to support my work with GitHub sponsor.

I made a bet to open source all the code I built here.

I could have kept it for myself and put a high ticket price.

Instead, I want to make it an open and transparent business.

I do think it would make our world a better place by opening instead of fighting and hiding.

To make it possible, it is necessary for all of us to do our part, including you 🥹.

If Capgo cloud offer can't suit you, back a bootstrapped Maker HERE on your own terms.
