Scanning a MobileFirst Platform project

MobileFirst Platform projects are scanned in the same manner as other project types, however, some considerations need to be taken into account. This help topic describes these considerations.

If you are scanning a MobileFirst Platform project that contains files that have been modified, you must rebuild the project using MobileFirst Platform before scanning. If you do not rebuild the project using MobileFirst Platform, modifications made to files will be ignored by AppScan® Source.

You can launch a scan for an MobileFirst Platform project by following the instructions in Scanning - or you can right-click at a project level, application level, environment (android) level, the common folder below an application environment, or HTML file level, and then select Run Scan from the menu.

If your scan includes the android environment, you must first use MobileFirst Platform to build the project.
To be able to scan Android code in your MobileFirst Platform projects, you must use the Android Developer Tools (ADT) Eclipse plug-in for Android application development.

Note: When scanning an MobileFirst Platform Version 6.1 project, you may notice an extensive delay before the scan begins. For more information, contact HCL Support regarding delays while scanning Worklight 6.1 applications using AppScan Source for Development Eclipse plug-in.
