MobileFirst 7.1 - Manage Cordova - ibm-mobilefirst

With MFP 7.1 can I replace cordova ios 3.7 or android 3.6.4 with an even newer or older ones? Since MFP is now a Cordova Plugin, I should just take care about the plugin compliance between MFP and Cordova itself... Shouldn't I?
Thanks and regards.

As written in the tutorial for using Cordova in MobileFirst, currently you cannot.
Make sure to thoroughly read it.

Installing cordova plugin in MFPF 7.1

can we install Cordova plugin "cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine" in MFPF 7.1
If Yes, can someone please advise what steps we need to follow.
Thanks,
You can integrate cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine plugin in your MFP 7.1 Cordova Application by following this blog if the app is built using Mobilefirst Studio Plugin.
If it is MFP 7.1 pure cordova application, you can add wkwebview plugin by running following command in terminal.
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine
Note : MobileFirst Features like Direct Update, Server Notifications might stop working if you are using wkwebview plugin.
cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine plugin needs cordova-ios >4.0.0.
where as MobileFirst CLI contains an instance of Cordova CLI v5.0.0, and iOS platform version 3.7.0.
for more details see here : link
So it may not work.Try below command if it works
mfp cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine

Here How can I add cordova-plugin-android-fingerprint-auth plugin to my application? Is there any better way to implement this feature?
I was able to implement touch id in hybrid iOS application.
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-touch-id?cm_mc_uid=04136042670715040496130&cm_mc_sid_50200000=1504217038
Need help to implement similar in Android.
Thanks
Mobilefirst 7.0 and prior releases does not support Cordova plug-man to install Cordova plug-ins and Hence you can't add plugins directly to your applications using cordova command line.
You need to follow the manual installation instructions as explained in this blog post to add cordova-plugin-android-fingerprint-auth plugin in your application.

where i can get cordova based MobileFirst Appcenter Project which should supports MobileFirst8 server?

i need IBM app center project so i can make my changes in there. The one i have is mobilefirst version that is devloped using MF SDK7.1. So i'm unable to use Mobilefirst8 server, especially push notification for the Appcenter app.Please provide me your suggestions on implementing Push notificaiton for this app. Note: i don't have MobileFirst Server 7.0.
Yes, you can use the installer app that is part of 7.x and it should work with 8.0 as well. MFP 8.0 Application center also ships the installer app and that will be the latest one.
Also, there is pure Cordova based installer app and you can directly take it to the Android studio and work there.

How to add browser platform to MFP cordova app?

I'm looking for a way to add browser platform to the current mfp cordova app for testing purpose. When I tried to run mfp cordova platform add browser, I got the error
Error: Hook not implemented yet for browser
By the looks of the commands, you're using 7.1. This release does not support the Web platform for Cordova apps.
Note that Mobile Foundation 8.0 supports standard Cordova apps, including the Web platform.
