App Center Retirement: open-source/license distribution platform?

[Brantone]

We've relied heavily on the distribution functionality of AppCenter. No other solution offers centralized support for such a wide spectrum of platforms for pre-release binaries. This combined with "direct to device" install and distribution group segmentation, has proven not only extremely valuable but also very difficult to replicate.

Would Microsoft consider open-sourcing/licensing segmented pieces of AppCenter to run self-hosted??

I second this for Crash Reporting specifically. The SDK's ability to capture fatal app crashes including stack traces without symbolification across all platforms is invaluable. Not even paid alternatives offer this while integrating this well with .NET-iOS & .NET-Android.
Honestly I'd rather Microsoft had turned it into a paid product instead of retiring.

Branch-based beta distribution feature is available on Appcircle but Crash report and Analytics feature is not available.

What about making it an Azure app?
