Cannot access Android betas.

Post by FuzzyHopper »

Pasha, I am still running version 2.15.11 full beta, because the new links to the MS App Center do not work, even after logging in there.

I am trying to use the links provided in the 2.15.11 discussion on this forum. Neither the free beta nor the full beta link work. I am simply sent to the MS App Center website and asked to login after creating an account there. Then I am informed that I do not have access to any apps.

I am returned to that same page if I again try either one of the two links you provided in the 2.15.11 discussion.

If I tap on the Android beta link at the top of the page in this forum, I am thrown into HockeyApp which asks me to log in. When I try I am informed that I must log in through the MS App Center, because I've previously created an account there. This becomes horribly confusing and very time consuming as I get bounced back and forth between the two websites.

There is a lengthy discussion by other developers about the problems they ALL are having with the change over from distribution on HockeyApp to the MS App Center:

https://github.com/Microsoft/appcenter/issues/182

My understanding from the GitHub discussion is that the HockeyApp website is supposed to close today, November 16th. However I don't think that's going to make any difference, because the other Developers are all complaining that Microsoft has been aware of the distribution problems from the MS App Center for a long time and their progrsmmers have NOT worked out the bugs.

I suspect many of your other beta testers have been having the same problems I have had, and that consequently participation in this forum probably has been very low for the past 5 weeks.

So what should we do? Wait?

Yowindow is one of my favorite apps. So I am anxious to try your latest work! Thanks!

Hi, Fuzzy!
I wasn't aware about this problem.
However, I know for sure that many of the beta testers take the app from App Center.
It seems a problem for some people, unfortunately including you.
I hope Microsoft to resolve the issue soon, they should.
In the meantime you can run beta-versions from Play store.
