Part Number of IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation v 7.1 - ibm-mobilefirst

I am not able to find the MobileFirst Platform Foundation Server V 7.1 in IBM passport advantage portal. I see the below packages but not sure which one is MobileFirst server binary.

Thanks PVR, looks like there is a naming confusion... this will be fixed.

IBM MobileFirst Platform v8.7

I am not able to add application into Test Workbench which is built using MFP v8. I am getting an error message while uploading the application into the Test Workbench.
Error message:

Eclipse version Used:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.

Build id: 20150219-0600
Plug-ins:
IBM MobileFirst Foundation Studio 8.0.0

Test Workbench is not supported for MFP 8.0. Hence the message:
"Error message: : this application is not a supported IBM MobileFirst Platform one. Please consider using IBM Rational Test Workbench"

Where is hybrid model in MobileFirst 8

I am starting to learn MobileFirst development and have a question regarding Hybrid development model.
I was looking at version 7.1 which supports Hybrid development that allows you to create applications that work on all supported devices.
But then I found out that there is a latest version of MobileFirst Foundation available called 8.0 but strangely Hybrid model is not there. Has it been replaced by something else?
By the way shall I go with version 7.1 or 8?
There is no longer a concept of "hybrid application" in MobileFirst Platform Foundation 8.0 (in the way that you are accustomed to in 7.1 and prior versions). Instead, you would create a Cordova application using your preferred Cordova development tools, and add the MobileFirst SDK to it. See the tutorial at https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/product-overview/release-notes/whats-new/ (in the "What's new in building apps" section) for additional details.

MobileFirst Studio 8.0 installation

I have install MobileFirst 8.0.0 studio plugin from eclipse marketplace. But I can not find option to create new MobileFirst project like which I used to find in version 7.1.0.
So there is no support in eclipse for 8.0 version? Only CLI is available for version 8.0? or is there any other way? Can some one help me in this.
In MobileFirst Foundation 8.0 you create either native apps (using Xcode, Android Studio, Visual Studio) and add the SDK to the project, or standard Cordova apps (using the Cordova CLI) and add the MobileFirst Cordova plug-in.
MobileFirst Studio 8.0 for Eclipse is meant to work in conjunction with the THyM plug-in for Eclipse as a way to create an IDE to develop your Cordova application.
Learn more about to get started with development in Eclipse, in this tutorial: https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/tutorials/en/foundation/8.0/application-development/using-mobilefirst-cli-in-eclipse/
You can still use MFP CLI to deploy the app/artifacts on to MFP server.

Targeting build for Worklight 6.2

I am developing on Eclipse Juno SR2 with MobileFirst 7.x installed from Eclipse Market Place.
However, my target server is Worklight 6.2. How do I create a .wlapp build for targeting to 6.2 version? There doesn't seem to be a target version to choose from in eclipse.
The build I create has a platformversion 7.x which is failing to install in Worklight 6.2 console.
There is no backwards compatibility for what you are attempting.
You cannot run MobileFirst 7.1 apps on Worklight 6.2; these are very very different releases that are simply not compatible.
If you develop using 7.1, use 7.1.

worklight 6.0 - apple watch support?

I have developed an Apple Watch application using IBM MobileFirst Platform 6.3 in testing environment and it's working fine.
My clarification is to know, whether the same Apple Watch application development will work using IBM Worklight 6.0.
Worklight 6.0 was not tested with the Apple-supplied WatchKit, but there are no known issues preventing it from not working.
It should be noted that at this time IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation (previously known as "Worklight") does not claim Apple Watch support.
You can go ahead and try to see if it is working. As you have already experienced, it does work with MobileFirst Platform Foundation 6.3. Why go back to Worklight 6.0? Upgrade your existing application instead (and there are very good reasons for that from 6.0.0.2).
