Unable to connect to MobileFirst Server 8 beta - ibm-mobilefirst

Question

I am working on ionic with mobilefirst project. While i am trying to integrate ionic App with mobile first, the mobilefirst server is not connecting with my App, in the server console i am not getting any information regarding to my App.
Configuration:
mobilefirst: 8.0.0
cordova: 6.1.1
android: 5.1.1

Answer 1

To first step in order to have the MobileFirst Server recognize your application is to register the application. You can do this in two ways:
Using the MobileFirst CLI
Make sure you have the CLI installed
navigate to the root folder of the application project
Run the command: mfpdev app register
Directly from the MobileFirst Console.
This step will require you to manually enter the details of your application
Load the console, typically localhost:9080/mfpconsole (if running the server locally)
Next to "Applications" in the sidebar navigation click on "New"
Provide the app details:
Name
Platform
bundle ID and version (you can find these in the config.xml file of your application project
The next step is to actually have the application send a request to the server to see if the connection succeeded...
Add the SDK by running the command: cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-mfp
Open the index.js file of your application and add the following code (just an example):
function wlCommonInit() {
WLAuthorizationManager.obtainAccessToken().then(
function () {
alert ("successfully obtained a token from the server");
},
function(response) {
alert("Unable to obtain a token from the server: " + JSON.stringify(response));
}
);
}
Take a look at this Ionic example: https://github.com/csantanapr/mfp8-ionic-demo/blob/master/www/js/app.js
Once the custom "MFP init" has been fired, you can then use the above WLAuthorizationManager API.
If it fails, then you did not properly register your application.
Make sure the version is correct
Make sure the bundle name is correct
