Appcenter: Bug "App cutover to App Center"

[ricky-scopely]

When trying to upload our generated builds using the HockeyApp plugin for jenkins, we started receiving an error response. This is a copy of the jenkins job:

Got unexpected response code from HockeyApp: 400
{"errors":{"app":["App cutover to App Center"]}}
Build step 'Upload to HockeyApp' marked build as failure

I've verified that the app was actually built, and that the upload step is failing.

I don't know when the issue started as we don't do daily builds, we noticed yesterday.

Thanks

Same problem here. We're not using a Jenkins plugin, but a custom node.js webhook with the historical hockeyapp app_versions/upload API endpoint.

Worked perfectly until 2020-02-20 15:30 UTC when our upload failed for the first time and has been failing ever since. Our last successful upload API invocation was 2020-02-19 22:53 UTC.

Same problem here, built one on Friday the same way and did not change anything on the script side of CircleCi. Monday build fails to deliver the RC to appcenter due to this JSON error
{"errors":{"app":["App cutover to App Center"]}}

Same here. Does it mean that we should move from hockey app and use the appcenter command line tool ?

[psmcbrayer]

HockeyApp has been completely retired, so yes that would be the proper course of action to take.

[grndvl1]

They said we were okay with that and that it would not be killed off just yet. But apparently someone turn the switch off.

This was not marked as deprecated. Not cool.

I too am facing this issue :(

I am also facing the same issue, how do we upload builds to App Center. I have tried the App Center plugin but no luck

[danielrbrowne]

I have two questions for the App Center team:

1) Where (if there was any) was the communication that this upload functionality (in my case the puck command-line utility for submitting builds) was in effect deprecated, and turned off seemingly without warning on 2020-02-20?

2) If this is in fact a bug, and the intention was that the Hockey API shouldn't be returning this error response, what is the timeline for a restoration of the service?

HockeyApp has been shut down, consequently the HockeyApp plugin using the old API doesn't work anymore. There's a new Jenkins plugin for App Center. If you're facing any issues please create a ticket in the Jenkins issue tracker.

The steps required to upload to App Center via API are described in our documentation.
