Welcome to the plugin planning issue! This issue is now closed because the work described by it has been complete! See the plugins repo. Subscribe to #3133 for higher-level updates on Capacitor 3. Thanks!

As part of planning for Capacitor 3, the team has rethought core plugins. The concept of Capacitor being "batteries-included" is attractive, but additional use cases (e.g. "Embedded Capacitor"), App Store warnings and rejections and app bloating and slowdowns (e.g. #4038, #2992, #1942), and better available alternatives (e.g. community or third-party plugins that are better than a core plugin), have caused us to reevaluate including the core plugins in Capacitor.

While we may be splitting plugins into their own packages, the Capacitor CLI may still offer a set of plugins to be installed by default (and optionally excluded or uninstalled). We call these included plugins (✅).

See Rethinking Plugins in the Capacitor 3 Upgrade Guide to learn more about how apps and plugins will be affected by these changes.

I've sent PRs to remove Photos #3385 and Permissions #3386 plugins. Since we are doing a few refactors, the sooner we remove those files the better.
