+This plugin enables **manual, JavaScript-controlled** web content updates for your Cordova applications without requiring App Store/Google Play approval. Your frontend code decides when to check, download, and install updates.
+
+## Platform Support
+
+| Platform | Version | Status | Notes |
+|----------|---------|--------|-------|
+| iOS | 2.1.2+ | Stable | Requires CocoaPods for SSZipArchive |
+| Android | 2.3.0+ | Stable | Built-in ZIP support, no external dependencies |
+
+Both platforms provide 100% API compatibility. The same JavaScript code works on both iOS and Android.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **Frontend Control**: JavaScript decides when to update (no automatic background checking)
-- **Two-Step Updates**: Separate download (`getUpdate`) and install (`forceUpdate`) for better UX
-- **Auto-Install on Launch**: If user ignores update prompt, it installs on next app launch
-- **Canary System**: Automatic rollback if update fails to load (20-second timeout)
-- **IgnoreList**: Tracks problematic versions (information only, does NOT block installation)
-- **Version History** *(new in v2.2.3)*: Tracks successful versions for progressive data migrations
-- **Instant Effect**: WebView Reload approach - no app restart needed
-- **Cache Management**: Clears WKWebView cache (disk, memory, Service Worker) before reload

+## Testing
+
+### iOS Testing (Safari Web Inspector)
+
+```bash
+# On device: Settings → Safari → Advanced → Web Inspector (ON)
+# On Mac: Safari → Develop → [Device Name] → [App Name]
+
+# In console:
+hotUpdate.getVersionInfo(console.log)
+hotUpdate.canary('1.0.0', console.log)
+```
+
+### Android Testing (Chrome DevTools)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Connect device/emulator
+adb devices
+
+# 2. Open Chrome: chrome://inspect
+
+# 3. Find WebView and click "inspect"
