Cloudant DB access via MobileFirst Starter Container's Data Proxy does not work

[kkkum]

I'm trying to get the Cloudant DB Creation and Access via Data Proxy in the MobileFirst Start Container to work in the Native iOS sample - https://github.com/MobileFirst-Platform-Developer-Center/WishlistiOS

I followed the instructions documented in the Knowledge Center - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.deploy.doc/deploy/t_create_deploy_gs_container.html http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSHS8R_7.1.0/com.ibm.worklight.deploy.doc/deploy/t_using_cloudant_gscontainer.html?lang=en

I did some troubleshooting with the provided Native iOS sample ParkStore app with the MobileFirst Starter Container and Cloudant Data Proxy. The Catalog function works and the LocalStoreAdapter function also works. But the Cloudant DB access via Data Proxy does not work. When trying to create the remote Cloudant DB via the Data Proxy, the iOS app encounters the error "url parameter cannot be nil". See the extract with my debug logs below -
