capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v7-to-v8
Upgrades a Capacitor plugin library from v7 to v8 using `npx @capacitor/plugin-migration-v7-to-v8@latest`, then the manual checklist - dev deps `^8.0.0` and peer `@capacitor/core` `>=8.0.0`, minSdk 24 and compile/target SDK 36 defaults, AndroidX dependency defaults, AGP 8.13.0, Gradle 8.14.3, Gradle `=` property assignment syntax, Java 21, Kotlin 2.2.20 (`kotlinOptions` to `compilerOptions`, no `kotlin-android-extensions`), google-services 4.4.4, iOS 15 in podspec and `Package.swift`, `capacitor-swift-pm` `from: "8.0.0"`, and the renamed `capacitor_bridge_layout_main` resource. Use when a plugin targets Capacitor 7 and must support 8, or on Kotlin 2 / Gradle space-assignment errors. Points to the v8-to-v9 next step. Do not use for app upgrades, other major versions, or non-Capacitor libraries.

# Capacitor Plugin Upgrade v7 to v8
Move a plugin library to Capacitor 8. Source of truth: https://capacitorjs.com/docs/updating/plugins/8-0
## When to Use
- Snapshot shows `@capacitor/core` 7.x and the plugin must work in Capacitor 8 apps.
- Building the plugin against Kotlin 2.2 fails on `kotlinOptions` or `kotlin-android-extensions`.
- Gradle warns `Properties should be assigned using the 'propName = value' syntax`.
Do not use:
- Upgrading an app -> `capacitor-app-upgrade-v7-to-v8`.
- Plugin on 6.x -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrade-v6-to-v7` first. Multi-hop -> `capacitor-plugin-upgrades`.
