Windows Phone 8.1 RT Application Insights

Question

I developed a Windows phone 8.1 RT app (NOT Silverlight)

I want to upload it to the Windows Phone store and add "Application Insights Telemetry" to it.

According to the Visual Studio ALM blog 8.1 is not supported in telemetry, so I am forced to use the new Azure Telemetry (the new version of this tool which uses Azure instead of Visual Studio Online). Thing is, I registered for a trial in Azure and the Application Insights feature is "coming soon"....

How can I make it track the crashes, errors, and data usage of my app?

Answer 1

Windows phone support was added in January.

Answer 2

I found out that https://mint.splunk.com/ was a good tool for monitoring 8.1 apps for Windows.
