UWP: support handled exceptions

[winnie]

Users would like the ability to track handled exceptions for UWP apps. Currently, this feature is only available for Xamarin and Unity apps.

This would be extremely useful. Crash reporting in Dev Center is not too useful for debugging so App Center would really help here.

I still think it is wierd that this feature is not implemented yet.

It is absolutely necessary to be able to send handeled exceptions! shouldn't it be a one-to-one substitute for hockeyapp? somehow this approach is lost to uwp? no sideload? no own exceptions? what the heck? please fix ;)

This is a must-have feature. @winnieli1208, given the number of reactions to this issue (it is now the top 3 most upvoted issue in the repo), any chance you have any updates? Thanks in advance.

Is there an estimated timeframe of when this is going to be released? I would really like to get it implemented in my UWP app. Thanks.

This is definitely our top request.

@braydondavis unfortunately I still don't have an ETA. We plan to start the Windows work listed in this proposal around May. Currently, there are too many unknowns to give a reasonable estimate. I expect to have a better answer for you once the engineering work starts. Thanks for the patience!

@winnieli1208: Are there any news to this issue? We are developing an side-loaded app and actually we are using the HockeyApp. The HockeyApp will be terminated this year and there is no alternative at the moment. That will cause a huge problem for us.

@BjoernDreher no updates at this time. Our team is ramping up on the Windows work this week so we'll have a better idea of what work is required to support this very soon. No ETA right now because there are quite a few unknowns at the time.

On a side note - since we only support handled exceptions for Xamarin apps, some App Center users track their errors using custom events in our Analytics service as a workaround. I understand this isn't ideal and there are limitations to this approach but it might be useful for some.

I'll keep communications open as our team learns more. I appreciate the patience!
