Downvotes are possibly because your comment could be read as instinctively/tribally anti Microsoft.

Yes, MS and Apple are competitors. But what would they have to gain by shutting-down iOS support? People would just move to TestFlight (Apple owned), which would gain MS noting at all and probably earn them some justifiable bad feeling.

Nadela-era Microsoft is looking to be a different and more open beast than the Gates and Balmer era company.

Edit: I didn't downvote you.

My comment would apply to any acquisition. If I'd use an analytics tool for Facebook acquired by Twitter, I'll take 10 minutes to think about it.

I'm not anti-MS. I was one of the first to make Windows Phone apps. I like a lot Nadela, but do you know how many time will he stay MS CEO?

As I said, MS is not only interested in Windows Phone but win a lot of money with Android.

We probably continue to use HockeyApp but I'm not fan of the "don't ask questions that may hurt" bashing here.
