It’s a sad day for software developers and IT companies everywhere, as Microsoft just announced the deprecation of its Visual Studio App Center, a hub that lets users not only develop desktop and mobile software but also test, release, and monitor it all from one platform.
Fortunately, the App Center will not be deprecated right away, but on March 31, 2025, leaving customers with more than enough time to assess the information and act accordingly. And users shouldn’t worry, as Visual Studio App Center will still get regular security updates until then.
However, past that date, login into your account won’t be possible anymore. What to do? Well, the Redmond-based tech giant has come up with a list of recommendations and alternatives, and those who are currently using Visual Studio App Center should consider them, as the deprecation is inevitable.
According to Microsoft, here’s what you can try:
While Microsoft’s recommendations are well intended, they might be a bit overwhelming for users, especially since Visual Studio App Center has of all these in one place. However, there is still a year until the deprecation happens, and it’s enough time to get accustomed to them.
Microsoft has not announced the deprecation on the official web page of the Center, but it will most likely do so in the next few days.
The Redmond-based tech giant has been announcing the deprecation of several beloved platforms, lately, including that of theWindows Subsystem for Android, which shocked some users.
Microsoft hasn’t revealed the reasons it’s deprecating Visual Studio App Center.
