I am using IBM MobileFirst 7.0 for creating a hybrid app. We recently deployed the .wlapp file for android without changing the previous app version. On successful deployment, when I run the app, I get the the following alert message -
"Newer web resources are available. Would you like to download them now?(file size is 86KB)"
On clicking the update button, the unpacking progress bar appears and fills up. But at the end of it I get the message- "Update failed. Direct update failure."
I have tried updating the app on mobile internet and WiFi but the issue still persists.Previously the direct update feature was working fine.

The recommendation is to update to the latest available patch level (iFix) from IBM Fix Central, and re-build the application (make sure to first up the version in the descriptor.xml and release a new version to the app stores, to account for changes in the native resources of the application).
