Visual Studio App Center

Visual Studio App Center, or just App Center available from Microsoft's Azure, is a solution used to build, test, release, and monitor mobile and desktop apps. When creating apps for Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, App Center allows users to automate build, test, and distribution pipelines, as well as continuously monitor real-time performance.

The solution enables users to:

• Single, integrated tool for managing build, test, and distribution pipelines
• Modular, simple-to-use SDKs to quickly start using just the services needed
  
• Rich diagnostics and analytics for continuously monitoring app performance and usage
  

Users can connect to GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, or Azure DevOps and automate the build, test, and release pipeline on every commit. With every successful build, App Center also can automatically run UI tests on real-world devices and OS configurations with App Center Test. Release app builds to beta testers or public app stores with App Center Distribute. Deploy hot fixes and updates directly to users’ devices with CodePush.

With App Center Diagnostics, users can prioritize and fix important issues with intelligent crash grouping, complete stack traces, and detailed crash reports. Search and filter by user ID to help isolate and support user-reported issues. Track usage patterns, user adoption, and other engagement metrics with App Center Analytics. Custom events can be used to gather detailed insights on user behaviors that matter most.
