Capacitor 8 has been released with two major updates: Swift Package Manager (SPM) replaces CocoaPods as the default dependency manager for new iOS projects, and Android now includes built-in edge-to-edge support through a new SystemBars plugin that automatically handles status and navigation bar appearance. Existing CocoaPods projects remain supported, and the new SystemBars API provides fine-grained control when needed. The framework continues growing rapidly, approaching one million weekly downloads.
