Migrate existing native Android applications

To migrate an existing native Android project that was created with IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation version 6.2.0 or later, we must modify the project to use the SDK from the current version. Then you replace the client-side APIs that are discontinued or not in V8.0.0. The migration assistance tool can scan your code and generate reports of the APIs to replace.

  The migration assistance tool helps you prepare your apps that were created with a previous version of IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation for migration by scanning the sources of the native Android app and generating a report of APIs that are deprecated or discontinued in version 8.0.
