[ionic 4] If I add Capacitor, do I need to remove ionic native?

Ionic Framework

I have an ionic 4 app I’ve been working on and I just added Capacitor. I noticed there is a “Splash Screen” and “Status Bar”.

Do I need to remove the ionic native counterparts in favor for the capacitor ones?

"@ionic-native/splash-screen": "5.0.0-beta.21",
"@ionic-native/status-bar": "5.0.0-beta.21",

Just out of interest why are you moving to capacitor@

@Judgewest2000 good point. Short answer I don’t know. I was under the impression capacitor would replace ionic-native

I’m not sure technically how true that is.

Ionic native at its core is simply a wrapper for cordova plugins. Capacitor can also use cordova plugins so technically those ionic native plugins should still work just fine. It does have the added ability of accessing the underlying API directly, though I know nothing about that.

I would perhaps not move till more support is available in the world.
