This package will automatically manage your changelog and the version number in 4 places:

• package.json (version key)
• package-lock.json (version key) optional
• Your main iOS file (guessed) search for private let PLUGIN_VERSION: String = "(.*)"
• your main android file (guessed) search for private final String PLUGIN_VERSION = "(.*)"

If not present in your package add: in Android private final String PLUGIN_VERSION = "1.2.3" in iOS private let PLUGIN_VERSION: String = "1.2.3"

Add in android then

  @PluginMethod
  public void getPluginVersion(final PluginCall call) {
    try {
      final JSObject ret = new JSObject();
      ret.put("version", this.PLUGIN_VERSION);
      call.resolve(ret);
    } catch (final Exception e) {
      call.reject("Could not get plugin version", e);
    }
  }

And in IOS

    @objc func getPluginVersion(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
        call.resolve(["version": self.PLUGIN_VERSION])
    }

Add a method getNativeVersion() in native who will return the version, that useful for Capgo auto-update context when dev want to be certain they don't make a breaking change in production. Add getJsVersion() in JS code to allow user to check the JS version, who can be updated by updater. Add checkVersionMatch() in JS code to allow user to check if the JS and native version match.

Exemple of Github action to do it on every commit in main and development

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
      - development

jobs:
  bump-version:
    if: "!startsWith(github.event.head_commit.message, 'chore(release):')"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: "Bump version and create changelog with standard version"
    steps:
      - name: Check out
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          token: '${{ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }}'
      - name: Git config
        run: |
          git config --local user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git config --local user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
      - name: Create bump and changelog
        if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
        run: npx capacitor-plugin-standard-version
      - name: Create bump and changelog
        if: github.ref != 'refs/heads/main'
        run: npx capacitor-plugin-standard-version --prerelease alpha
      - name: Push to origin
        run: |
          CURRENT_BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
          remote_repo="https://${GITHUB_ACTOR}:${{ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }}@github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}.git"
          git pull $remote_repo $CURRENT_BRANCH
