IBM Worklight Interim Fix README for 6.2.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Following info center:
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.i
  bm.worklight.dev.doc/devref/c_app_desc_native_api_ios.html
  In application-descriptor.xml of native iOS app, do this:
  <pushSender password="SomePasswordInClear"/>
  The deploying is ok.
  But if do this:
  <pushSender password="${apns.keystorePassword}" />
  And the ${apns.keystorePassword} refers to property in
  worklight.properties, then attempt to build and deploy the app,
  console would get "Certificate error: Unable to process
  certificate:
  apns-certificate-production.p12"
  

Local fix

• Use clear password in pushSender tag instead of encrypting it
  with worklight.properties
