Apple has acquired Burstly, the makers of TestFlight, a popular beta testing platform for mobile developers, reports TechCrunch and Re/code.
Apple 'confirmed' the acquisition with its usual response.
“Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans,” company spokeswoman Kristin Huguet told Re/code.
Following the acquisition, TestFlight announced that it's discontinuing support for Android as of March 21st. It's also discontinuing its TestFlight SDK and has shut down FlightPath, its mobile analytics solution.
It's unclear what Apple's plans for the company are. It could potentially integrate its technology into the iOS Developer Center and Xcode or leave it as a standalone service.
We'll let you know when we hear more!
