Crosswalk not supported on Mobile First Platform - ibm-mobilefirst

I am building mobile app.
I would like to use Crosswalk with Mobile First Platform (MFP).
Currently MFP does not support Crosswalk
(See: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-1/foundation/hello-world/integrating-mfpf-sdk-in-cordova-applications/)
What is a rough estimated date of MFP supporting Crosswalk?
Mostly, I will use MFP. To use with MFP, instead of using Crosswalk, what other feature/library/Swappable WebView do you recommend me to use?
Thanks.

Development estimations or confirmations cannot be provided. If you are an IBM customer you can contact IBM directly and submit your inquiries and business justifications.
When using MobileFirst Platform it is currently not possible to swap the provided Cordova library with any available alternative at this time.

How to Client Side and Server Side integration of IBM TeaLeaf

I have to implement TeaLeaf analytics for our application so i am doing sample POc for android and iphone environment for hybrids application. Anyone please advice me how can i implement the TeaLeaf stuff in my POC.
Below that activity i did,
create sample app version project and add android/iphone environment
application-descriptor.xml i added IBM teaLeaf SDK
what else i have do? i was searching google and following ibm knowledge center also there is not much clarity for tutorial and how can i test in development environment.
below that link i referred :
http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_6.3.0/com.ibm.worklight.integ.doc/integ/t_tealeaf_client.html
If I understand your question correctly, it seems like you're attempting to create a connection between IBM MobileFirst Platform 6.3.0 and IBM Tealeaf. I work on integrations of IBM Tealeaf On-Cloud with client e-commerce platforms and it seems like you might be dealing with IBM Tealeaf On-Premise.
That being said, my understanding of the process for the On-Cloud implementation is that there are a few libraries you need to make sure are being included on pages you'd like Tealeaf to observe:
Tealeaf.js (distributed by IBM)
Sizzle.js
JQuery, if the page uses it ... also note that if the site uses JQuery, you need to provision from IBM the JQuery flavor of Tealeaf.js instead of the W3C flavor.
Hammer.js
Pako.js (again this assumes the On-Cloud version of Tealeaf, as this is a library for compressing data a being sent to IBM cloud-service collectors. In the On-Premise version my understanding is that this data is written to a file that is saved to the local hardware.)
How the libraries are included is something you'd decide when working with the client's server and development team - every organization has their preferences. Generally though they'd be inserted on pages that need to be monitored and the Tealeaf.js config would be edited to specify the endpoint of the collector for the regional data center on which space was provisioned for the client (in the US, either in Dallas or Washington DC.)
As for the On-Premise implementation of Tealeaf, you can jump in to the documentation here: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS2MBL/tealeaf_product_family_welcome.html

Integration of MobileFirst Application onto BlueMix

I have a set of applications that have been developed by IBM using MobileFirst so it uses Worklight servers and adapters within the application.
I have been requested to investigate the possibilities of taking a hybrid mobile application developed on worklight and trying to migrate it onto something like IBM's BlueMix.
I was hoping someone could provide me with some insight as to how much work may be involved or if this task is even possible?
Thanks in advance.
Assuming you are using MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.1, you can run your MobileFirst Server on IBM Containers, a technology powered by IBM Bluemix... you can read more about it here: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/7.1/ibm-containers/
You can start by evaluating it: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/7.1/ibm-containers/evaluate/
And later, assuming you are an IBM MobileFirst Platform customer, migrate your existing project and applications to it: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/7.1/ibm-containers/run/
You will also want to experiment with MobileFirst Foundation 8.0 beta: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/beta/
v8.0 beta also provides an all-new approach for running on Bluemix: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/ibm-containers/using-mobile-foundation/
Using 8.0 will require some migration effort, but it'll be worth it. :)
You could migrate your adapters and the app integrated with the MFP SDk as is and move it to Bluemix using MFP 7.1 on containers. The effort is minimal - say 2 days. Based on your comments above, If you want to ditch all that and remove worklight out of the equation all altogether, you will have to hand roll all that functionality that worklight was providing to you and of course maintain it yourself. Then this ceases to be a worklight question :) and the effort is certainly more than couple of days.

IBM Mobile Quality Assurance REST API Available?

Now I am working on the IBM MQA (Mobile Quality Assurance). But I want to get some informations from MQA Service such as device's information , session, bugs, .... The IBM have the rest API to support it ? Can anyone give some suggestion about this problem ?
Thank you.
We are working to improve the MQA filtering features however at this time we don't have a way to filter crashes by devices. We recently announced that MQA in Bluemix now supports integration with the following bug tracking systems: Jira, TFS, HP Quality Center, GitHub, FogBugz.
If you use one of these BTS's, its possible to use their sorting or filtering process, if any however unfortunately at this time there are no MQA APIs available.

SMP 3.0 SDK : Agentry Toolkit : How to use Agentry toolkit in your app?

I am new for SAP Mobile Platform (SMP 3.0).
As per my basic research, I came to know that 'Agentry Toolkit' is one of the component of SMP 3.0 SDK. I installed SMP 3.0 SDK.
Can anyone help me to describe what is actually 'Agentry Toolkit' & How to use it in app (Hello World App) ?.
Thanks in advance.
The key thing to remember is that SAP Mobile Platform (SMP) is a server which hosts and manages a variety of mobile application types. The mobile platform has to support a number of 'legacy' technologies e.g. Sybase mobile business objects etc.
SAP acquired a company called Syclo (it has a number of products the most common one is called Work Manager).
The SDK is a set of tools that developers mainly use to develop and deploy mobile applications. It contains a number of SDKs so that developers can integrate with the various mobile "components" that run on the mobile platform.
The Agentry Toolkit is a plugin to Eclipse which allows you to create, edit and modify Agentry applications.
You can of course create an application from scratch and build a "hello world" using this.

Mobile apps for Pebble Smart watch

Just curious if anybody tried creating mobile apps using IBM Worklight to connect to Pebble Smart watch? Please share your experience and approach.
I have no experience with Pebble Smart watches, however from what I understand from their website (https://developer.getpebble.com/) it looks like they provide SDKs for Android and iOS.
Worklight uses Cordova, which means you could write a Cordova plugin to run native code in your app, and this native code could use the Pebble SDK.
It looks like others already started looking into it: https://github.com/konsumer/phonegap-pebble
