Microsoft has recently launched ‘Visual Studio Mobile Center’ for the developer community. The purpose is to help in building and managing mobile apps through a set of cloud services. The Mobile Center supports applications built on several frameworks. It supports apps built on platforms like Swift, Java, Xamarin, React Native and Objective –C. The platform is currently in its “preview” period and a roadmap is in place to further build out services to be offered.

Today developers are expected to go beyond conventional approach to app building and their prime focus is on providing mobile users a Unique experience. Developers need a platform where they can build, test, deliver and monitor the apps as fast as possible on a continuous basis. Mobile Center, can reduce the time spent on creating a workflow by using the services provided by Mobile Center. It will allow the developers to concentrate on the primary task of creating a good app.

Some of the features in VS Mobile Center are:

• Build apps automatically with pull request

• Test apps on different mobile devices through the embedded automated UI tests

• Monitor bugs and crashes for immediate diagnostics

• Apps written in any language can be brought into VS Mobile Center’s cloud and lifecycle services

The developers have a choice to work on end-to-end workflow provided by the VS Mobile Center or can choose to avail only a subset of the services.

VS Mobile Center is expected to evolve further with integration with HockeyApp and Test cloud apps. In addition to that, the future versions of VS Mobile Center will support Cordova and Universal Windows platform.
