Microsoft announced plans to shut down HockeyApp and replace it with Visual Studio App Center.
The company acquired the startup behind HockeyApp back in 2014.
And if youre still using HockeyApp, the service will officially shut down on November 16, 2019.HockeyApp was a service that let you distribute beta versions of your app, get crash reports and analytics.
There are other similar SDKs, such as Googles Crashlytics, TestFairy, Appaloosa, DeployGate and native beta distribution channels (Apples TestFlight and Google Play Stores beta feature).Microsoft hasnt really been hiding its plans to shut down the service.
Last year, the company called App Center the future of HockeyApp.
The company has also been cloning your HockeyApp projects into App Center for a while.It doesnt mean that youll find the same features in App Center just yet.
The company has put up a page with a feature roadmap.
Lets hope that Microsoft has enough time to release everything before HockeyApp shuts down.
