AppCenter has this warning at the top of their webapp:

Visual Studio App Center is scheduled for retirement on March 31, 2025. Learn more about support timelines and recommended alternatives.

I thought we may still use the open-source plcrashreporter. People could at least generate reports locally. That could help them with submitting them to Github. Either manually or on confirm perhaps, a bit like the feedback form.

However, the future of plcrashreporter is uncertain. Thus, I think I'll remove that piece from the app for now, until we have visibility on what to use next.

Finally, there is the question of what will happen if a user uses a previous release which still has AppCenter. Will is silently fail, or will it crash, or will it do something else? I sent an email to AppCenter to enquire.

Thank you

I've just tested to generate a crash, then turn off wifi, then click to send it. The dialog closed and nothing happened. AltTab worked well after that, like it actually sent the report. On the next launch, no dialog about sending the crash.

This is great. It means we have no rush to get rid of AppCenter. We can remove it whenever 👍
