All the major features such as authentication, JSONStore, app management capabilities, server connectivity and adapter invocation/chaining, push notifications, Cordova plug-ins, native pages, common UI controls, direct update and native elements in hybrid pages all work as expected.
Advanced device security features such as App Authenticity, Device Provisioning, and others work as expected.

Inclusive terminology note: The Mobile First Platform team is making changes to support the IBM® initiative to replace racially biased and other discriminatory language in our code and content with more inclusive language. While IBM values the use of inclusive language, terms that are outside of IBM's direct influence are sometimes required for the sake of maintaining user understanding. As other industry leaders join IBM in embracing the use of inclusive language, IBM will continue to update the documentation to reflect those changes.
