How do I use Devops with Xamarin and hockeyapp

Question

I am trying to implement devops with xamarin and hockeyapp. Basically I want to automate the build process for all platforms(iOS,Android and Windows). When I have searched for this I saw that it goes with continuous delivery and integration. It means that the build will be automatically pushed to HockeyApp after code checked in.

However, can I go in other way instead of CI/CD? Like through power shell script to automate the deployment. How can I do this from VSTS ?

Answer 1

It would be better if you use Jenkins for that, it has a Hockeyapp Plugin that allows you to upload your build to your users.

Here is a quick article about that: https://blog.entelect.co.za/view/9973/using-hockey-app-with-jenkins-for-continuous-mobile-app-deployment
