Rethinking Cross-Platform
summary
Claims that Capacitor lets one codebase run on iOS Android and web with real native features backed by native toolchains and web fallbacks For example a demo app uses OpenLayers and calls geolocation.getCurrentPosition and watchPosition it runs in a browser and in the iOS simulator where location is overridden to Apple and a freeway drive shows tracked coordinates The architecture swaps browser API for native geolocation when available exposes native tooling xcode cocoapods and ships a community background geolocation plugin and a 3.0 beta.
