Nobody develops for Windows Phone, but everybody has the burden to develop for two plataforms: iOS and Android. If MS lower the burden and automatically makes it very, very easy to develop for Windows Phone, they will finally have some decent software in their plataform.</text></comment>

Congratulations to the team!&lt;p&gt;Previously we&amp;#x27;d been using TestFlight for iOS and the PLsy Store&amp;#x27;s built-in beta-test functionality for Android, but it is convenient to have one service that supports a range of mobile OSs and a lower-friction deployment process.&lt;p&gt;When TestFlight was bought by Apple, they fairly quickly abandoned support for non-iOS pltforms. I&amp;#x27;m confident that Microsoft isn&amp;#x27;t short-sighted enough to do something similar.</text></comment>
