Debugging Capacitor

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to diagnose and resolve issues within Capacitor applications, a framework for building native mobile apps using web technologies. It provides direct access to debugging tools and logs specific to the Capacitor environment to streamline troubleshooting workflows.

When to use it

• Analyzing crash reports or runtime errors in a Capacitor-based mobile application.
• Investigating plugin configuration issues that prevent native features from loading correctly.
• Debugging build failures occurring during the native compilation process for iOS or Android.
• Inspecting console logs and network requests specific to the Capacitor bridge communication.

Key capabilities

• Access to Capacitor-specific debugging interfaces and utilities.
• Analysis of application behavior within the native mobile context.
• Identification of errors related to web-to-native plugin interactions.

Example prompts

• "Debug why my Capacitor app is crashing on startup for Android devices."
• "Analyze the logs to find the cause of a failed build in my Capacitor project."
• "Check for configuration errors preventing the Camera plugin from initializing correctly."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your development environment has the latest Capacitor CLI and native platforms installed before relying on this skill for deep diagnostics. This tool is specialized for Capacitor; it will not provide debugging assistance for standard web applications or other mobile frameworks like React Native or Flutter.
