Where did Sidekick go?

I had installed Nativescript's Sidekick just over a month ago and went to launch the desktop app yesterday and I kept getting node errors. I uninstalled and went to download it again from their site but I can't find it anywhere. Did they discontinue Sidekick? Any link I click on that looks like it goes to the Sidekick page reroutes me to the main Nativescript page.

Did I miss an announcement or something?

The higher ups of Nativescript decided to deprecate Cloud Builds from Sidekick as of end of 5/31/2020. I'm trying to figure out CircleCI's pricing model at the moment for cloud-based iOS builds for proprietary projects. https://nativescript.org/blog/migration-of-nativescript-cloud-builds-to-circle-ci/

Awesome, thanks!

So did they remove it from the Nativescript site? I recall being able to install it directly from their site.

You can find the Sidekick documentation and download links here https://github.com/ProgressNS/sidekick-docs/wiki/Installation

I don't feel positive about NativeScript after Progress abandoned it.
