Unable to login to app on device or simulator after upgrade to iOS 9 and MobileFirst 7.1

Question

My hybrid app built using Ionic and IBM MobileFirst is unable to login after the upgrade to iOS 9 and MF 7.1 when built via XCode and deployed to a device or through iOS sim

Answer 1

When using the MBS, you are basically being served directly by the server. The MBS is inside the server and you open the server IP or localhost.

When using a physical device or the iOS Simulator you are connecting to a "remote" hostname. It could be that the value mentioned is not being translated correctly by DNS.

You can try two things, by editing the worklight.plist file in your Xcode project:

1. Empty the host property; this usually then allows it to pick a value on its own and seems to work, in iOS
2. Replace the existing host value with the IP address instead of a hostname
