When Wrapping MobileFist iphone ipa with XenMobile it is periodically Crashing for the users
The
PA using the iOS developers team provisioning profile and have the customer wrap it into an MDX using their Apple Enterprise provisioning profile.
No support can be given via Stack Overflow for such a problem. You need to go through the normal support chain, namely by opening a PMR (support ticket).

I want to test some remote notification services in React Native. But run into some problem. In iOS I need to enable the Push Notifications BUT for that I need a Developer Plan. For testing and playing around of course I do not want to buy an iPhone Developer Program.
Is there a way to test remote push notifications without the need of buying iPhone Developer Program?
No, a paid Apple Developer Program membership is required to use push notifications.
How to Manage app and data on a device (Block, Wipe and others) in ibm mobilefirst 8.0?
Following options are available in Mobilefirst 7.1:
Managing app distribution (using the Application Center)
Managing app versions (using the Operations Console)
Managing app access (using the Operations Console)
Managing usage, performance, warnings and errors (using the Analytics Console)
Managing data access
I suggest that you will take a tour of the MobileFirst Operations Console in MobileFirst Foundation 8.0. See here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/product-overview/components/console/
Managing data access / Managing app access
I assume you are referring to "remote disable". This is available from the application screen in the console. Select the desired registered application from the sidebar navigation and under the Management tab you will see a Application Access title.
Managing usage, performance, warnings and errors (using the Analytics Console)
Unsurprisingly, this is available from the Analytics console as before.
Learn more about Analytics console here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/analytics/console/
Managing app distribution (using the Application Center)
This has not changed and it not related to MobileFirst Foundation 8.0. You do this through the AppCenter console as before. AppCenter did not change between 7.1 and 8.0.
Managing app versions
In previous versions you would have upped the version value in application-descriptor.xml. In v8.0 instead whenever you want to release a new point release, i.e. 1.1 or 2.0 etc, you need to register another app versions, either using the MobileFirst CLI or directly via the console.
I suggest that you will start getting familiar with the product...

I am using a native Android and IOS app which connects to Mobilefirst server. The app is connecting to MFP server for App authenticity and for creating user identity(Adapter authentication).
Now when I went console/devices
I see status specific to device which contains Active, Lost, Stolen, Expired and Disabled.
And under installed apps I see status Enabled and disabled. I see Certificate Serial Number value being No certificate. Do I need to add anything to get this certificate will this matter to enable or disable the status of the app.
My question is how do I use these features in Native apps?
You start by reading the documentation. You can go ahead and start reading here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.monitor.doc/monitor/c_device_mgmt.html
It has nothing to do with programming so I'm not going to write anymore about this in Stack Overflow (it is too much to cover anyway).
I code sign the IBM AppCenter client for iOS using my Enterprise Certificate. I used a unique bundle identifier and provisioning profile for the same. The OTA installation works fine in most of the iOS devices.
In few devices iPhone5S powered with iOS 7.1.1, it fails to download and install and gives the error message "Unable to Download App" - App Center could not be installed at this time". I have checked the Code Signing properties in my codebase. Every thing looks fine. Note sure why this fails in few devices and works fine in most of the devices.
There could be multiple reasons:
as Idan said already, iOS 7.1 requires SSL (https) with a real SSL certificate, that is, self signed certificates don't work. Application Center must run on a server that has a CA authorized SSL certificate that matches the server URL. Earlier versions of iOS did not have this restriction.
the app might not be provisioned for the device. This depends on your provisioning profile. Development profiles are limited to preregistered devices. If you are able to side-load the app on the same device, the provisioning profile must be correct. Typically, when the provisioning profiles is wrong, the app appears to be downloaded to ca 75% and then the failure occurs.
the Apple server to validate the provisioning profile is not reachable. This happens seldom and is normally not specific to a device. This can only explain occasional random failures to install the app, but it cannot explain when an app fails always on the same device.
there might be a connection problem between the Application Center server and the device. In this case, you don't see the download to go to 75% but it stops earlier in the download process. In Worklight 6.1, the Application Center uses resumable downloads, hence a temporary connection problem should normally get resolved automatically. But it can be a permanent connection problem on specific devices. In order to check whether it is a connection problem, you could open the Worklight AppCenter Console on the device inside Safari and try to download any app binary ... The resulting network traffic is similar to the one that occurs during installation.
I hope this helps!
Is it required to have Apple Enterprise subscription to distribute iOS app through appcenter, or is there any method to iOS device (iOS 7.1) accecpt app from it with standard subscription? I tried everything but get error (cannot connect to ...) when i press download.
All applications managed through the Application Center must be packaged for "Ad Hoc Distribution".
With an iOS developer account, you can share your application with up to 100 iOS devices.
With an iOS enterprise account, you can share your in-house application with an unlimited number of iOS devices.
