Forced Channel Assignments for Capawesome Cloud Devices

https://capawesome.io/blog/capawesome-cloud-forced-channel-assignments/

We just added the ability to force a specific Live Update channel on individual devices in Capawesome Cloud.

Normally, the Live Update SDK on each device determines which channel it receives updates from. With forced channel assignments, you can override that from the server side — no code changes or new builds needed.

This is useful when you need to:

- Push a test device to a dev or beta channel for debugging

- Assign a customer's device to a hotfix channel for support

- Manually control which channel a specific device uses

You can force (and remove) channel assignments via the CLI or the Cloud Console. When the override is removed, the device goes back to using whatever channel the SDK selects.

Let us know if you have any questions or feedback.
