In the meantime, Microsoft was changing course rapidly as well. A lot of

the .NET projects were converted to open source and put on GitHub. Windows

Phone was still being maintained, but the future of it seems unsure. Certainly,

with the introduction of Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, it is now

possible to run your app on any Windows-based device, including but not

limited to Xbox, HoloLens, Windows Phone, and Windows 10 desktop.

In February 2016, the whole Xamarin crew became part of Microsoft.

Not long after that, more good news was in store. At the Build conference,

Microsoft announced that the Xamarin development tools would be free

for Mac with more Azure options; the Xamarin MVP program is fused with

the Microsoft MVP program; etc. But I think it will take a while before the

name Xamarin will disappear completely, at least at the company level.

But it doesn’t stop at rebranding. Microsoft is also putting a lot of effort

into bringing all the acquired solutions together and introduced Mobile

Center in November 2016. This user-friendly environment combines all

the best parts of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), Xamarin Test Cloud,

and HockeyApp, as well as some parts of Azure relevant to mobile into a

single point of entry. While still in preview at the time of writing, there is

a lot you can do already. Just before the release of this book Microsoft has

taken Mobile Center out of preview. It is now called App Center. Where
