I’m curious if anyone has any information about Hockey’s future plans, specifically w.r.t. their longevity. I’ve seen and heard various chatter about this but can’t tell if it’s blind speculation based on MS hate or actual information regarding their future plans. I’m not invested in any way in Hockey (financially or otherwise) other than being a user. That said, it would appear on the surface that MS is committed to the Hockey service and I don’t see any indication that this will be a “failed platform”. One could say MS has a huge interest in keeping it going, just from the analytics data alone. Wouldn’t you love to have visibility into a large percentage of iOS application deployment stats, what apps are being deployed, how, when, why, etc. And get all the visibility into application crash behavior, beta programs, etc. etc. You probably couldn’t buy this information otherwise. One doesn’t have to be terribly imaginative to see the value to MS of this service. I’m not trying to start a flamewar here, and I would appreciate verifiable, unbiased feedback on these questions. The changes to TestFlight have been significantly disruptive to the iOS developer community and I encourage any discussion on how to handle the transition to new services.
