Frequent questions

App Center, by various companies (including Microsoft and Firebase by Google), refers to a suite of developer tools designed to streamline the mobile app development lifecycle. This typically includes functionalities like:

 

  • Build & Release: Automate app builds for different platforms (iOS, Android, etc.) and manage app releases across various app stores.
  • Analytics: Track app performance, user behavior, and crashes to identify areas for improvement.
  • Diagnostics: Gain insights into app crashes and performance issues to troubleshoot and fix problems effectively.
  • Push Notifications: Send targeted push notifications to your app users to engage them and drive actions.
  • User Authentication: Manage user authentication and authorization within your app securely.
  • Distribute: Distribute beta versions of your app to a limited group of testers for feedback before a public release.

 

Choosing the Right App Center

 

The choice of App Center depends on your specific needs and development environment. Here are some popular options:

  • Microsoft App Center: Integrates seamlessly with Microsoft development tools and Azure cloud services.  BUT Microsoft has announced that it is discontinuing App Center, so you have to come up with an alternative to App Center, which can be Applivery for everything related to app distribution and CI/CD.(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/distribution/vsts-deploy)

Visual Studio App Center is scheduled for retirement on March 31, 2025. After this date, it will no longer be possible to sign in or use its functionalities. Microsoft will continue to provide critical bug fixes and technical support until the retirement date.

 

Where to Find Official Information

Applivery can serve as a robust replacement for Microsoft App Center by providing similar services and additional features tailored for app distribution and management. Here’s how Applivery can help:

1) App Distribution and Deployment:
  • Over-the-Air (OTA) Distribution: Applivery allows developers to distribute applications to testers and users directly over the air, making the process seamless and efficient.
  • Version Management: It supports version control, enabling easy updates and rollbacks of app versions.
2) Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD)
  • Automated Builds: Applivery integrates with various CI/CD tools, automating the build process and ensuring that the latest version of the app is always available for testing or deployment.
  • Webhooks and API Integration: It provides webhooks and APIs to integrate with your existing CI/CD pipeline, streamlining the deployment process.
3) User and Device Management
  • User Authentication and Authorization: Applivery offers comprehensive user management features, including authentication and role-based access control, ensuring that only authorized users can access the apps.
  • Device Management: It allows you to manage devices that can install and use your apps, providing an extra layer of security and control.
4) Beta Testing and Feedback
  • Beta Testing: Facilitates beta testing by allowing you to invite users to test new versions of your app and gather feedback.
  • Feedback Collection: Built-in tools for collecting user feedback directly from the app, helping you improve and refine your application based on user input.
5) Analytics and Reporting
  • Usage Analytics: Provides detailed analytics and reporting on app usage, crashes, and performance, helping you identify and fix issues quickly.
  • Crash Reporting: Real-time crash reporting and diagnostics to understand and resolve issues effectively.
6. Security and Compliance

8. Support and Documentation
  • Comprehensive Support: Offers extensive support and documentation to help you transition from Microsoft App Center and get the most out of Applivery’s features.
  • Customer Support: Dedicated customer support to assist with any issues or questions that may arise during the transition.

 

By leveraging these features, Applivery can effectively replace Microsoft App Center, providing a robust and comprehensive platform for app distribution, management, and continuous integration.

Replacing Visual Studio App Center entirely depends on the specific functionalities you used. Here’s a breakdown of potential replacements for different features:

1. App Distribution:
Private & Beta Distribution:
  • Applivery: Strong focus on private and beta distribution with features like tester management, in-app feedback, and crash reporting.
  • Other options: There are other closed beta distribution platforms available, but Applivery offers a user-friendly interface and features specifically tailored for developers.
Public App Store Distribution:
  • Dedicated app store submission tools: These tools simplify the process of submitting your app to various app stores (e.g., Apple App Store Connect, Google Play Console). There are several options available, often provided by the app stores themselves.
2. Analytics & Diagnostics:
  • Applivery: Offers crash reports and installation data.
  • Advanced Analytics & Diagnostics: Firebase Analytics (Recommended): Provides comprehensive app analytics, user behavior tracking, and crash reporting. Integrates well with other Firebase tools. (https://firebase.google.com/docs/analytics)
3. Build & Release Automation:
4. Push Notifications:
Additional Considerations:

Existing Cloud Platform: If you’re already using Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), it might be more efficient to leverage their respective solutions within those platforms.

  • Feature Needs: Prioritize functionalities that are most critical for your development process.
  • Development Environment: Choose tools that integrate well with your existing development tools and workflows.
  • Cost: Some tools offer free tiers with limitations, while others have paid plans with more features. Consider your budget and scale of operations.

Remember: There’s no single tool that directly replaces all of App Center’s functionalities, at the same time, not all functionalities are used by every company; this will depend on the needs of each company. Evaluating your needs and combining several tools can create a robust mobile app development environment that fills the gaps left by App Center’s retirement.
