Appcenter: Bring back HockeyApp

There are so many things that are not working in AppCenter that are hindering my work. I list them again if needed.

diagnostics feature request hockeyapp

  • AppCenter doesn鈥檛 provide a UI to collect user comments and no UI in the backend to properly display it when I build my own. I can鈥檛 see that report have comments. But those are the most valuable report. I have to click each report several times to see my custom attachment. (#1418, #850)

  • I can鈥檛 filter by build numbers (had a long "conversation" with the chatbot that was not helpful). I was told I need to add the Analytics framework to my app but I still didn鈥檛 got it to work. And I don鈥檛 know why I need to spy on my uses so that the backend can read and collect the build numbers from the crash report. They are there already????

  • I have to constantly re-upload symbols if new crashes come in. I HockeyApp I could upload symbols before any crashes come in. And I could just drag the .zip onto the page. And I don鈥檛 get a progress bar (60 MB take a minute at my place).

  • The overall UI looks more pretty on first sight but I was much faster at finding the problems before. I have to click at least twice as much as before.

@schriftgestalt thank you for the valuable feedback. We will consider it to further improve App Center's crash reporting.

Closing as we won't bring back HockeyApp 馃槩
