Hi Team,

Our enterprise application is built using the Angular, Ionic, and Capacitor tech stack. We offer both web and mobile apps to our end users. We have a requirement to transition our application to a micro frontend architecture. Using Angular Module Federation, we can convert our Angular application into micro frontends:

According to the Capacitor documentation, the Capacitor Federation plugin enables mobile apps to adopt a micro frontend approach:

With the Ionic team discontinuing its enterprise offerings and no longer onboarding new customers Important Announcement: The Future of Ionic’s Commercial Products - Ionic Blog, could you please provide guidance on how we can use the Capacitor Federation plugin?

My understanding is that Capacitor Federation can only be used with Ionic Appflow for over-the-air updates. With Ionic Appflow being deprecated, how should we proceed further for OTA?

Thank you.

My understanding is that the Capgo plugin works for monolithic apps. Does the Capgo plugin support micro frontends?
