Run the below command to install all the node modules required for building the application.

Mobile Foundation Configuration

This starter invokes an adapter in a Mobile foundation server.

Steps:

Android

• Go to the platforms/android folder and find the shell scripts by name mfpregisterapp.sh and mfpstartersetup.sh. Ensure that you have execute and write permissions in order to run these scripts.
• Run mfpstartersetup.sh. This should set up the Mobile Foundation prereqs for running the starter.

iOS

• Go to the platforms/ios folder and find the shell scripts by name mfpregisterapp.sh and mfpstartersetup.sh. Ensure that you have execute and write permissions in order to run these scripts.

• Run mfpstartersetup.sh. This should set up the Mobile Foundation prereqs for running the starter

• Update the platforms to get the latest cordova platforms

$ ionic cordova platform update android ios

• (Optional) Only if the above step (cordova platform update) fails in updating the ios platform, please remove and add the ios platform again.

$ ionic cordova platform rm ios
$ ionic cordova platform add ios

• Add the mfp cordova plugin

$ ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-mfp

• Replace url in config.xml with the host of the mobile foundation provisioned for you. <mfp:server runtime="mfp" url="" />

• Build the ionic application to run ionic build scripts

$ ionic build

• Open the project under platforms/android in Android Studio and perform a Gradle Sync.
• Open the project under platforms/ios in XCode and build it.
