Capacitor App Upgrade V7 To V8
Upgrades a Capacitor app from v7 to v8 using `npx cap migrate` from `@capacitor/cli@latest`, then the manual checklist - Node 22+, Xcode 26+, iOS deployment target 15.0, Android Studio Otter, AGP 8.13.0, Gradle 8.14.3, JDK 21, minSdk 24, compile/target SDK 36, Kotlin 2.2.20, Gradle `=` property assignment syntax, `density` in configChanges, removed `android.adjustMarginsForEdgeToEdge` (use the System Bars plugin and CSS env vars), `bridge_layout_main.xml` renamed, iOS `appendUserAgent` whitespace fix, and official plugin changes (Geolocation timeout, Screen Orientation/Barcode Scanner on Android 16 large screens). Use when `@capacitor/core` is 7.x and the target is 8.x. Points to the 8.5 UIScene adoption and v9 next steps. Do not use for other major versions, plugin library upgrades, or non-Capacitor apps.
