Visual Studio App Center
Continuously monitor apps for every platform
Visual Studio App Center is a retired mobile and desktop application lifecycle management service, with only its Analytics and Diagnostics features remaining supported until March 31, 2027. The service solves the problem of monitoring application health and performance in production by providing real-time crash reporting and usage analytics, helping developers identify and fix issues without needing to build their own monitoring infrastructure.
Its main capabilities include real-time diagnostics with automatic crash reporting through the App Center SDK, automatic symbol management for richer crash reports, and crash grouping by common cause with relevant stack frames. The analytics features provide live streaming data for sessions, events, and crashes, along with audience metrics covering devices, operating systems, and feature popularity. Developers can search specific users' crashes and browse individual reports with event breadcrumbs and custom data attachments.
The service is designed for mobile and desktop application developers who need to monitor their apps across platforms. It offers a free tier to start, with pricing and edition details available on the website. Users of the remaining Analytics and Diagnostics features are advised to plan migration to Azure Monitor before the March 2027 end-of-support date.
