[Bug]: Capacitor 7: Platform.is('capacitor') returns false on device

[zarko-tg]

Capacitor Version

Installed Dependencies:

@capacitor/cli: 7.0.1
@capacitor/core: 7.0.1
@capacitor/android: 7.0.1
@capacitor/ios: 7.0.1

Other API Details

NPM 10.9.2
Node.js 22.13.1

Platforms Affected

• iOS
• Android
• Web

Current Behavior

Our code does a number of checks such as:
Platform.is('capacitor')
but when running Capacitor 7 this returns false for an app running on both iOS and Android.

We're on @ionic/angular 6.7.1.

Expected Behavior

It should return true, just as when running on Capacitor 6.

https://github.com/zarko-tg/platform-test
demonstrates the problem.
The app is using all the latest versions of Ionic, Angular and Capacitor as per now.

It seems that isNative has been removed since Capacitor 7 (but used in Ionic).

https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-framework/blob/14b6538d98303cb753d881ec6978fb98f53ed54c/core/src/utils/platform.ts#L102

[jcesarmobile]

yes, this is an ionic framework issue, isNative has been deprecated since Capacitor 3 and removed in Capacitor 7, should be fixed in ionic-framework.

[zarko-tg]

@jcesarmobile Can you please clarify what you mean by "should be fixed in ionic-framework"? Does that mean it has already been fixed in the latest ionic-framework version, or it will be fixed?
And, won't take make Capacitor 7 incompatible with all previous ionic-framework versions?

[r-yanyo]

I decided to use Capacitor.isNativePlatform() for now.
