Migrating applications created on IBM® Bluemix to IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation
You can migrate native applications that were developed on Bluemix® Mobile Services to IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation.
The existing Bluemix Mobile Services app must use a custom identity provider. To provide this security for the app when it is running on IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation, you must modify some server-side components.
To migrate the application to IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation,
you must complete the following tasks:
- Adapt the server-side authentication code, by using one of the
following HTTP-based custom authentication methods:
- Security realm within a Java™ adapter
- Oauth TAI
- A protected Node.js resource
- Migrate the client application. Migrating the client application
includes the following steps:
- Installing the IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation SDK, including its associated framework. For iOS applications, you also install a compatibility framework.
- Making configuration changes to your Xcode project
- Modifying the application code to remove references that are specific to the Bluemix Mobile Services environment, replacing them with references required in the IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation environment
