Mobile (Capacitor) template

Build a camera app with AI

Start an iOS and Android camera app with Capacitor's Camera plugin preinstalled, and let the Claude Code Agent build photo capture, gallery, and permissions.

A mobile starter with the Capacitor Camera plugin already in package.json. Ask the agent to implement photo capture, gallery picking, and permission handling on top of it.

FAQ

Questions about this template

How do I get a native iOS or Android build?

The starter includes a capacitor.config.ts and the Capacitor packages in package.json. You build and preview the web layer in CloudCode, then push to GitHub and run the standard Capacitor commands (build, npx cap sync, then open in Xcode or Android Studio) on a machine with the native toolchains installed.
