Capacitor 3 and Stripe Terminal 2

[nprail]

There are two major breaking changes coming up with Capacitor v3 (#50) and Stripe Terminal v2 (#54) . I am creating this to discuss the best way to implement these changes version-wise.

There are a few options here.

Option 1

Make both breaking changes in a single major release (v2).

Pros

• It's MUCH easier for me to manage
• Much simpler for user's to know which version they need

Cons

• If you want to upgrade to Stripe Terminal v2 you must upgrade to Capacitor v3 and vice-versa

Option 2

Release capacitor-stripe-terminal v2 with Stripe Terminal v2 support and then quickly after, release capacitor-stripe-terminal v3 with Capacitor v3 support.

Pros

• You would not have to upgrade to Capacitor v3 in order to upgrade to Stripe Terminal v2 (which has a hard deadline)

Cons

• I would have to essentially maintain two separate versions at once.
• You can't upgrade to Capacitor v3 without upgrading to Stripe Terminal v2 (which is the harder upgrade)

Option 3

Release capacitor-stripe-terminal v2 with Capacitor v3 support and then quickly after, release capacitor-stripe-terminal v3 with Stripe Terminal v2 support.

Pros

• You would not have to upgrade to Stripe Terminal v2 in order to upgrade to Capacitor v3 (which is an easier upgrade)

Cons

• I would have to essentially maintain two separate versions at once.
• You can't upgrade to Stripe Terminal v2 without upgrading to Capacitor v3

Notes

1. Capacitor v3 will be a much easier upgrade than Stripe Terminal v2 which has some pretty significant breaking changes.
2. However, Capacitor v3 may actually be a harder update depending on if all of the plugins you use support it yet
3. Stripe Terminal v2 has a hard deadline for upgrading as v1 will stop working on January 31, 2022.

@kyleabens @bdsimmons pinging you both for your opinion on this since I know you both actively use capacitor-stripe-terminal.

For simplicity, I will be doing Option 1. I will be releasing a v2 beta shortly with Capacitor v3 support. Stripe Terminal v2 will come in a later v2 beta.
