Introduction

Bring your mobile apps written in any language to Visual Studio App Center's cloud and lifecycle services and you'll get faster release cycles, higher-quality apps and the time and data to focus on what users want.

Services:

Continuous everything: Automate your entire mobile app livecycle in a few easy steps.

Successful mobile apps are powered by an enterprise-grade cloud backend that brings scalability, security, data and turnkey mobile features such as authentication and offline sync to apps. Connect apps to data anywhere in the cloud or on-premises.

Support

We're just getting started and have big plans for helping you deliver better mobile apps faster, with support for Cordova and UWP apps and more lifecycle and mobile cloud services in the near future.
