LiveUpdate - Is there a 6 to 7 upgrade guide?

[jkyoutsey]

For example getBundle() became fetchLatestBundle().

And I've been using the enabled property in the capacitor.config.ts for LiveUpdate to turn it off when doing development, but I see that enabled is no longer a valid config item? How do I turn off liveupdate for local development?

Are there other things that I'm likely to run into that changed between 6 and 7?

Wait... DID getBundle() become fetchLatestBundle()??? Because fetchLatestBundle has been around since 5.x. So, what happened to getBundle()?

Yes, you can find all breaking changes here.

Regarding the "enabled" configuration option: this configuration option just disabled the rollback timeout. You can just set the "readyTimeout" configuration option to undefined to have the same behavior.

I have this going on in my config:

let liveUpdateEnabled = true;


switch (process.env.NODE_ENV) {
	case 'localdev':
		liveUpdateEnabled = false;
		...
		break;
	case 'dev':
		...
		break;
}

const config: CapacitorConfig = {
	...
	plugins: {
		...,
		LiveUpdate: {
			...
			enabled: liveUpdateEnabled,
		},
		...

So, if I just changed the enabled to readyTimeout: liveUpdateEnabled ? 10000 : undefined, that should do it?

Yes, that should be the same behavior as before.

Thank you! Really appreciate the quick response!
