SSL Pinning

For current customers, we have begun a multi-year process of discontinuing maintenance and support services for Capacitor SSL Pinning. During this process, we will continue to keep Capacitor SSL Pinning up-to-date with support for all latest dependencies.

The Capacitor SSL Pinning package will be sunset effective December 31, 2027. By this time, you should have migrated to an alternative service for SSL Pinning. Any applications still relying on the @ionic-enterprise/ssl-pinning package at this time may experience build failures.

Open Source Alternatives

The solutions listed below are not owned, maintained or associated with Ionic. The Ionic Solutions Architecture team has not tested or evaluated these solutions. This list is provided for informational purposes only. Strongly encourage conducting additional research and evaluation to find a solution that will your unique business needs.

1. Cordova Advanced HTTP Plugin: this plugin performs native HTTP requests, similar to CapacitorHttp, but does so at the Cordova layer. It also includes SSL pinning features. It is possible that this plugin works in Capacitor applications, but would not be usable with CapacitorHttp enabled, which potentially makes migration to the plugin difficult.

Self-Support @ionic-enterprise/identity-vault

For teams who would prefer to continue to leverage the @ionic-enterprise/ssl-pinning package, Ionic will be making these solutions self-supportable in 2026. Customers with active subscriptions will be eligible to receive a non-exclusive perpetual license for SSL Pinning.

More details about self-support will be coming soon.
