## What it is
HockeyKit is the client SDK behind HockeyApp, providing crash reporting, in-app beta updates, and usage analytics for iOS and Android apps. HockeyApp has been retired and the SDKs are deprecated in favor of Microsoft App Center.

## Use cases
- collect crash reports from iOS apps
- distribute beta builds with in-app updates
- track app usage analytics on mobile
- monitor app diagnostics for Objective-C apps
- migrate legacy HockeyApp integrations

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy app already integrated with HockeyApp
- studying historical mobile crash-reporting SDK implementations

## When to avoid
- starting any new mobile project
- you need supported crash reporting or analytics - use App Center or Azure Monitor
- you need current iOS/Android platform compatibility

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, analytics, logging
- domain: mobile-development, developer-tools, monitoring
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: crash-reporting, deprecated, hockeyapp, objective-c, in-app-updates, beta-distribution, ios, android, mobile
