SDK Changelog

The Live Update SDK is used with Appflow's Live Update feature to detect and sync your app with new updates that you've pushed to channels.

The original live update SDK, cordova-plugin-ionic, works with Cordova and Capacitor apps.

The next generation live update SDK, @capacitor/live-updates, supports Capacitor apps and self-hosted live updates for enterprise customers.
