⭐️ External option help to unlock 2 cases: corporate with privacy concern, don't send the code to a third part and app bigger than 200 MB. With this setting, Capgo store only the link to the zip and send the link to all app.
👀 Capgo cloud never look of what is in the link (for external option), or in the code when stored.
🔑 You can add a second layer of security by using encryption, then Capgo will not be able to look or modify anything, it becomes “trustless”.
Example of package.json for version
{
"version": "1.0.2"
}
⛔ Version should be greater than “0.0.0”.
💡 Don't forget to update the version number each time you send one, or device will don't see the update.

End-to-End encryption (Trustless)

Capgo support end-to-end encryption, this mean that your bundle(code) is encrypted before send to the cloud and decrypted on the device. For that, you need to generate an RSA key pair, you can use the following command to generate it.
The encryption system is a combination of RSA and AES, the RSA key is used to encrypt the AES key, and the AES key is used to encrypt the file.
See below for more information about the encryption system.
Ecryption schema

Create key for your app

npx @capgo/cli key create
Optionally, you can give: --force to overwrite the existing key. This command will create for you a key pair in your app, and will ask you to save the private key in a safe place. It's recommended to not git commit the private and public key, and to not share it with anyone.
After your local test remove the key from config file and add it on CI step with key save

Save key in your app config

npx @capgo/cli key save
Optionally, you can give:
--key [/path/to/my/private_key] the path of your private key.
--key-data [privateKey] the private key data, if you want to use inline. This command is useful if you followed the recommendation and didn't commit the key in your app, and in the config.

Ci integration

To automate your work, I recommend you make GitHub action do the job of pushing to our server

Our demo app

Don’t forget to configure CI env variable with your API key
