This document discusses using Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and HockeyApp for continuous deployment of mobile apps. It notes that HockeyApp is now Microsoft's primary offering for mobile crash reporting, beta distribution, and user feedback. The document demonstrates how to set up an automated build in VSTS to generate app packages, run tests, and deploy the packages to HockeyApp for testing. It also provides a recap of using HockeyApp with Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, and Windows UWP apps.

Version 1.0-alpha.3of the Application Insights SDK for Xamarin.Forms comes with two major changes: Crash Reporting and the API to send handled exceptions have been removed from the SDK. In addition, the Application Insights SDK for Xamarin.Forms is now deprecated. The reason for this is that HockeyApp is now our major offering for mobile and cross-plattform crash reporting, beta distribution and user feedback. We are focusing all our efforts on enhancing the HockeySDK and adding telemetry features to make HockeyApp the best platform to build awesome apps. We've launched HockeyApp Preseason so you can try all the new bits yourself, including User Metrics. Microsoft Application Insights
