AAD solutions
Use live account = only one text box
use app.Repl()
providing password???
Xamarin XML parsing bug when trying to use different simulator???
TestCloud Issues
We are using Umair's LIVE account with single sub
cannot test changing subs/tenants scenarios
no alerts configured there - cannot test alerts
Nightly tests for many devices running into loop and never finish
Flakey xUnit tests (parrallelization?)
TestCloud solutions
Live test account
Reach out to VSTS guys
I turned off xUnit parallelization,
but isolation will help too
No tests for alerts
setup live test account with service alerts (won't work for Service Health)
mock data (for Service Health...or both)
VSTS issues
no option to email entire team for PR
follow up with VSTS?
no private runs from private branches
extra build pipeline?
maintaining our Mac build host is pain
MacInCloud?
Local development
need to enter user/pass every time when you rebuild app
cache token (copy/paste)?
need to modify SignIn helper class to enter password
write to pass file before and after login (to revert)
Local development
iPhone local build takes ~3-4 mins
turning off 'build ipa' didn't help
maybe OxyPlot?
current bundle id will overwrite installed Beta from Hockey App
change provisioning profile to com.microsoft.azure-local
UWP UI Testing?
No support from Xamarin Test Cloud
Appium?
VSTS?
