As we are in process of upgrading our Worklight platform from 6.2 to MFP7 I couldn't find if MFP7 will support BB10 certification.
The features we are interested in:
Direct Update on BB10 (As we are doing monthly release we have to
submit to BB app store every time), Will this feature be available
on MFP or in the near future?
IBM App centre only support BB6/7. Will IBM App centre support
BB10 so we can deploy the binary (.bar)in?
The BlackBerry 10 environment does not support Direct Update.
Application Center does not support BlackBerry 10 (there is no AppCenter client for it)

What is the difference between IBM MobileFirst Platform Application Center Console and MobileFirst Foundation V8.0? Is it a separate console? I'm so confused when there are different screens in IBM MobileFirst Platform Application Center Console and there is no dashboard to deploy adapter.
IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation (formerly known as Worklight Foundation) is a platform for building mobile applications for the enterprise. It is a suite of tools and services available either on-premise or in the cloud, which enable you to rapidly build, administer, and monitor secure applications.
IBM Mobile Foundation:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSNJXP/welcome.html
The IBM MobileFirst Platform Application Center is a repository of mobile applications similar to public app stores but focused on the needs of an organization or a team (private app store).
It works with IBM MobileFirst and non IBM MobileFirst apps, and supports any iOS, Android, BlackBerry 6 or 7, and Windows Phone 8 applications.
It can be used in different contexts:
As an enterprise app store across an organization.
During development to distribute applications within a team.
Distributing mobile applications with Application Center: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/6.3/moving-production/distributing-mobile-applications-application-center/
MobileFirst Platform Application Center allows you to host your mobile applications and acts as app repository like any other public app store from Google or Apple. Application center doesn't allow application backend or management capabilities like deploying Adapter etc, for which you would need to use MobileFirst Foundation.

Can I create an App that can be deployed both on Windows 7/8 desktop and also mobile devices( iOS, Android and Windows 7.0 ) with the same/single code base.
Can I deploy single codebase hybrid app both on Win and mobile devices.
If you are talking about Windows PHONE 7 - no. This platform is no longer supported starting Worklight 6.2 and above
If you are talking about Windows 7 widgets for Desktop - no. This platform is no longer supported since... Worklight 6.0(?) or so.
Windows 8 is supported.
The concept behind Worklight/MobileFirst Platform is that indeed your application to the various (supported) platform will indeed have a common (shared) codebase, that you can further tweak when required, per platform.
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.
See iOS Developer Program and iOS Enterprise Program for details.
Step 1 of the Worklight 6.0 documentation for "Installing the mobile test client on an iOS device" says to "Launch the Apple App store from your mobile device and search for Rational Test Workbench Mobile Client", but, doing so on my iPhone 5 has no results.
Where can I find this app?
There was an issue with the Apple app store submission and the client app was not accepted due to Apple restrictions. The development team is looking into alternatives. For now, testing is only available via the emulator.
I still no able to successfully download/install an app thru IBM app center to see what a new app looks like on a mobile device.
2 simple questions :
1) If an app, let's call it myapp, was download/install successfully thru IBM app center, then would myapp simply an independent new app on the device or myapp some how "embedded" in the worklight app center app?
2) If I deployed myapp to a Samsung tablet thru other means, that is not thru IBM app center, then would worklight serve has the knowledge of myadd install in this particular Samsung device?
The application would be independent. You could, for example, uninstall it either through the Application Center mobile client, or via the usual procedure the device OS allows you to.
Assuming the applications has connectOnStartup=true, and you deployed the app to the Worklight Server, the answer would be Yes. (the Application Center is not a substitute to the Worklight Server, you must still deploy it there if you intent for your application to use features such as Worklight Adapters).
