# App Center Migration Tool

### Overview

The **Updraft AppCenter Migration Tool** simplifies the process of migrating builds from [Microsoft App Center](https://appcenter.ms/) to [Updraft](https://getupdraft.com). With just a few steps, you can seamlessly transfer your entire build history to Updraft's app distribution platform, ensuring a smooth transition without any data loss.

### Why Use This Tool?

* **Effortless Migration** – Automates the transfer of builds from App Center to Updraft.
* **Secure & Reliable** – Ensures your builds are safely migrated.
* **No Manual Work** – Avoids the hassle of downloading and re-uploading files manually.
* **Preserve Build History** – Retain access to all previous builds in your new Updraft environment.

### How It Works

The migration tool interacts with both Microsoft App Center and Updraft APIs to fetch and transfer build artifacts. The process involves:

1. **Authentication** – Authenticate with both App Center and Updraft using API tokens.
2. **Fetching Build Data** – The tool retrieves all available builds from App Center.
3. **Uploading to Updraft** – Each build is automatically uploaded to Updraft, maintaining metadata such as versioning and release notes.
4. **Verification** – The tool ensures each build is successfully migrated.
