The latest version of Mobile Apps Build Service (MABS) is now GA!
For ODC, MABS 12 now supports Capacitor, a modern native runtime that allows developers to build native-like experiences on iOS and Android. Capacitor is a modern, forward-looking mobile foundation, offering a simple plugin system and an active developer community. Additionally, for O11 and ODC, MABS 12 is required to continue submitting your mobile apps to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store throughout 2026.
Before updating MABS, all supported plugins must be updated to their latest versions. For more details, check the MABS 12 release notes.

What version of capacitor is MABS 12 running on? I'm having a hard time finding that in the documentation. In the build logs for an app I made it looks like Capacitor 8.0.0. But then in the source code for that same app when I run npx cap doctor it says the installed Capacitor version is 6.1.1.Latest Dependencies:
@capacitor/cli: 8.0.0
@capacitor/core: 8.0.0
@capacitor/android: 8.0.0
@capacitor/ios: 8.0.0
Installed Dependencies:
@capacitor/android: not installed
@capacitor/ios: not installed
@capacitor/cli: 6.1.1
@capacitor/core: 6.1.1
[success] Android looking great! 👌
I'm asking because I need to know the version as I'm building this library that will use a capacitor plugin. Thanks!
Hi, Spencer!
As of this message, in MABS 12 version, the capacitor related versions are:
The source code doesn't bundle the contents of node_modules, as such, after extracting the source code it is necessary to install the dependencies which can be done with `npm ci` to ensure that the dependencies defined on package-lock.json are used, thus matching the dependencies available at build time.
After that, versions can be consulted in one of multiple ways:
Thank you!
