We fixed a bug impacting some Capacitor users and started testing some UX enhancements to the plan page! The updates will make it easier for you to manage your plan.
This week, we resolved a bug affecting some Capacitor users with ESM enabled, and began testing updates to the plan page to make subscription management easier. The plan page updates are a part of a larger project to enhance user experience on the site. Our UX improvements are driven by the feedback you give us over on our support & community forums. We also recently moved to Bluesky and Mastodon β follow us there to stay up to date between weekly posts.
π Bugfix Alert for some Capacitor users!
If you enabled ESM for your project using "ππ’ππ": "ππππππ" in your πππππππ.ππππ, your πππππππππ.ππππππ.ππ would be misinterpreted. We've fixed that!
Upload your projects to see the fix in action!
