Quick answers

Capgo - Live Updates for Ionic and Capacitor Apps FAQ

Can I update capacitor.config.ts via Capgo?

No. Changes to capacitor.config.ts, native plugin configuration, or native package upgrades require a native app release.

What happens if I reach my Monthly Active Users (MAU) limit?

Updates will be blocked until the end of the billing cycle, unless you upgrade your plan or purchase credits.

Does Capgo support native code updates?

No, Capgo delivers the Capacitor web layer (JavaScript, CSS, and assets) and does not change the native binary.
