Project is Dead? (only supported)

[reslear]

The company has shown no activity here for the past four months, aside from some community PR efforts. Is it fair to assume the project is dead?

Update Aug 2024 - Last week, the project was updated to Capacitor 6 #33, but there’s no sign of active development or new features at the moment.

Hi team, I was wondering if there are any updates or plans for new features, particularly #14. Would you be able to share your priorities or the timeline for reviewing current PRs? Thank you!

Additional bugfixes

• touchstart outside map and touchend on map caused scroll issue in application after ionic backdrops appeared
• Refactored .removeFirst() method to .removeAt(0)
  • Using Kotlin's removeFirst() and removeLast() extension functions on MutableList can lead to runtime crashes when your app is compiled with compileSdk 35 (Android 15) and run on devices with Android 14 or lower. This issue arises because Android 15 introduces new removeFirst() and removeLast() methods in the Java List interface. Consequently, when you compile against API level 35, the Kotlin compiler binds calls like list.removeFirst() to the new Java methods. On devices running Android 14 or lower, these methods don't exist, resulting in a NoSuchMethodError at runtime.
