Software Reviews and Criticism

  Pathetic. This is Microsoft's response to their pipeline problems?

  (1) Every single time you use it, you have to pointlessly click OK to "Replace?" There is literally no possible situation in which you would not want to "replace" the file. It would be literally like, in a text editor, having a dialog "DO you REALLY want to OPEN that file?" It would be literally like, when you drag a file, it asks "Wait .. are you sure you want to drag that file? Maybe you meant to double-click? Please confirm!" It's the sort of incredibly "uncaring" decision made by Microsoft that makes the pipeline of Microsoft product development so hilarious. So laughable. The industry joke. This is exactly the sort of reason why people rail on Microsoft for making astonishingly stupid mistakes. (2) The basic idiocy of using Xcode is that, once you click to "archive" a build, there are about seven pointless dialogues you have to work through. You cannot set defaults or automate it in any way. So far Microsoft have done NOTHING about this, NOTHING. Maybe the idea is in the future this new step they have added will eventually simplify things. For now ........ they have added another step. Wow. (3) Not that it even matters but EVERY single time you upload, the connection fails. Amazingly, it does know to retry - you read that right. (Astonishginly, there IS NOT a dialog "Do you want to retry?" Hooray, Microsoft.) Microsoft continue as the industry joke for pipeline.

  Very useful... but has a few quirks

  Very useful little utility, especially if you use 3rd party development tools like RAD Studio. However, its ideosyncracies are frequently annonying. In particular, it often seems to have real issues just uploading, where it gets to 85%, and then reverts back to 60%. Often it does that multiple times, and sometimes it keeps trying for hours. If you catch it in this loop, cancel the upload, and then start again, it often completes correctly. Don't know if it is this app, Microsoft not being able to run slowly enough for my 800 Kbps upload, or Microsoft's servers, but the sudden backwards jumps and highly inaccurate remaining time estimates makes me suspect that they stole the counting logic from Dominion. ;-) Anyway, nice standalone utility. Does the job... eventually. Often just needs a kick or two during a reluctant upload.

  Gets the job done

  Deploying react native apps and submitting with transporter is a pretty streamline process. Would be nice to see some direct integrations with expo and react native, for example, it takes around 30 minutes to get a build. Then after all the work I submit, transporter fires it off to the Microsoft store and 2 hours later I get some dumb error about the build or version number. Seems like that's an error that could autonomously checked for before going through the process. Overall this is a pretty good app. This may be more feedback for the entire process, but much better than I remember it being years ago
