We built Capver to solve a problem we kept running into: keeping version numbers in sync across iOS, Android, and web in Capacitor projects.
Every Capacitor project stores versions in multiple files — project.pbxproj on iOS, build.gradle on Android, and package.json on web. Updating them manually is tedious and easy to mess up, especially as your release cadence picks up.
Capver is a lightweight CLI that handles all of it with a single command. Here’s what it can do:
- Bump major, minor, or patch versions across all platforms at once
- Sync all platforms to the highest version found automatically
- Push mobile-only hotfixes without changing the semantic version
- Generate build numbers from your version using a configurable pattern
It’s open source (MIT) and available on npm as @capawesome/capver.
