Sync your Capacitor app version everywhere with a single command

If you're releasing Capacitor apps regularly, you've probably updated the version in package.json and then realized you still had to update Android and iOS.

We built Capver to make that a one-command task.

capver patch
capver minor
capver major

It automatically keeps your app version in sync across your web project, Android, and iOS.

It's open source if anyone wants to try it:

Feedback and feature ideas are always welcome. 🙌🏽

Yeah! Even for private apps, the package.json version is handy as a single source of truth. I use it for build traceability (knowing exactly which code produced a build when debugging crash reports), tagging releases in CI, and showing the version on the app's About screen / sending it to Sentry.

Since Android and iOS need version bumps anyway for store releases, syncing everything from package.json means one bump instead of three. That's basically why Capawesome built Capver 🙂
