# GitLab CI for Capacitor

GitLab SaaS macOS runners are available on Premium/Ultimate tiers; otherwise register a self-hosted macOS runner and tag it `macos`. Pick an image that includes the required Xcode (Xcode 26 for Capacitor 8, Xcode 27 for Capacitor 9); check GitLab's hosted macOS image list.

```yaml
stages: [test, build, deploy]

variables:
  WEB_DIR: dist

default:
  image: node:22  # node:24 for Capacitor 9

Store `CAPGO_TOKEN`, keystore values, and App Store Connect key values as masked, protected CI/CD variables. The Debian `nodejs` package is usually older than Node 22; in the Android job prefer installing Node from NodeSource or using an image that bundles both JDK 21 and Node.
