Bluemix push notification service - The use of App Route parameter is deprecated

Question

Seems like the Bluemix Push Notification service has been subject to changes recently. Indeed, when you click on the Mobile Options button in the configuration panel, a message in the pop up window states that The use of App Route parameter is deprecated.

However, this app route parameter was required when intializing the BMSClient plugin (BMSClient.initialize(BLUEMIX_PUSH_APP_ROUTE, BLUEMIX_PUSH_APP_GUID))

What is the right way to initialize the ibm-mfp-push plugin now that the app route parameter is deprecated?

I know that the ibm-mfp-mush cordova plugin is currently being updated. Will the update address that issue? Is there a status about the release of the updated version of the plugin?

Thanks

So for the time being, continue to use your regular app route (from the MobileFirstServices starter or other).

The new ibm-mfp-push (probably will be renamed bms-push) will address this issue. It is currently in the backlog. The estimated time of completion is about one month from now.
