Current Behavior

The Capacitor Android/iOS SDK allow rejecting a call with a code of type string, see:

capacitor/android/capacitor/src/main/java/com/getcapacitor/PluginCall.java

Line 148 in f3239c4

public void reject(String msg, String code, Exception ex) {

However, the type of the code property of the CapacitorException class only allows values of type ExceptionCode, see:

capacitor/core/src/util.ts

Line 29 in f3239c4

readonly code?: ExceptionCode,

For example, the Capacitor Firebase Authnentication plugin uses the code property to forward the error code from the Firebase SDK to the WebView in addition to the error message. Currently a typecast has to be used to get the correct type of the property:

private getMessageFromCapacitorException(error: CapacitorException): string {
    switch (error.code as string) {
      case 'email-already-in-use': {
        return this.translocoService.translate(
          'core.message.error.firebase.auth.emailAlreadyInUse',
        );
      }
      ...
    }
  }

Expected Behavior

The type of the code property should be of type CapacitorException | string.
