Why downvotes? I'm only asking questions. Yes, MS strategy is cross-plateform. Now. But in a few years, who knows what MS goals will be?

If Microsoft hadn't bought them, what would Hockey look like in 2 years? What will iOS look like in 2 years?
Yes, MS and Apple are competitors. But what would they have to gain by shutting-down iOS support? People would just move to TestFlight (Apple owned), which would gain MS noting at all and probably earn them some justifiable bad feeling.
Nadela-era Microsoft is looking to be a different and more open beast than the Gates and Balmer era company.

I'm not anti-MS. I was one of the first to make Windows Phone apps. I like a lot Nadela, but do you know how many time will he stay MS CEO?
As I said, MS is not only interested in Windows Phone but win a lot of money with Android.
We probably continue to use HockeyApp but I'm not fan of the "don't ask questions that may hurt" bashing here.
Equally, HockeyApp exists. Now. But in a few years, who knows where they'll be?
Basically, betting long-term on a startup is a bad bet. So you want them to be acquired by someone. I'm not sure who else out there would be better.
