Note from the Owner

Start -->

I have been dedicated to developing and maintaining this plugin for many years since the inception of Ionic Capacitor. Now, at 73+ years old, and with my MacBook Pro becoming obsolete for running Capacitor 6 for iOS, I have made the decision to cease maintenance of the plugin. If anyone wishes to take ownership of this plugin, they are welcome to do so.

It has been a great honor to be part of this development journey alongside the developer community. I am grateful to see many of you following me on this path and incorporating the plugin into your applications. Your comments and suggestions have motivated me to continuously improve it.

I have made this decision due to several family-related troubles that require my full attention and time. Therefore, I will not be stepping back. Thank you to all of you for your support.

Usage

The IOS & Android code use SQLCipher allowing for database encryption. The Android code is now based on androidx.sqlite. The database is not closed anymore after each transaction for performance improvement. You must manage the close of the database before opening a new database. The Web code use localforage package to store the datastore in the Browser. The Electron code use sqlite3package
