MobileFirst Foundation iFix 8.0.0.0-IF20170125-0919 released

A new iFix has been released for MobileFirst Foundation 8.0, dated January 25th, 2017.

Update, February 2nd: newer Native iOS SDK and Cordova plug-ins were released to CocoaPods and npm.

• iOS SDK: Includes Swift 3.0 compatibility fixes and the ability to make resource request calls in the background.
• Cordova SDK: Fix client-server version compatibility.

Known issues

• If using the updated cordova-plugin-mfp plug-in with an older MobileFirst Server build, you may not be able to connect to the server. This will be fixed in an updated plug-in in the coming days. This issue is fixed with the updated cordova-plugin-mfp@8.0.2017013103. Install it by removing and re-adding the plug-in.
• The test confidential client is missing. It can be manually added via MobileFirst Operations Console → Runtime Settings → Confidential Clients with the scope set to “*”.
• Starter apps available from the Download Center in the MobileFirst Operations Console may contain outdated SDK builds. To workaround, update the SDK according to the specific platform instructions.
