No build notifications since VS 2015?

Question

We used to install our machines to receive notification of creation on the taskbar.

However, the process that we performed — this description — is no longer applicable to Visual Studio 2015, how is the Notice of Application Creation no longer part of the package?

Any ideas what happened to him? Replacements? Workarounds?

Update 4/2016:
Nothing has changed since Update 2 - new build definitions are still not displayed.

Answer 1

BuildNotificationApp is still part of VS 2015 and can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\BuildNotificationApp.exe . However, it appears that only XAML assembly definitions are visible for this tool.

New vNext functions can be obtained through the new REST API . I could not find explicit confirmation from an official source, but most likely the application did not match this new approach.

Basically, you have email notifications as your only option. Make sure that the mail server settings are correctly configured for the application level and create an appropriate email notification.
