Description
I am looking for a way to use a DRUPAL backend for native iPhone apps. These are native iPhone apps, not html apps. I was wondering if this would be a good module to work with.
#1
I'm sure that there are better formats than JSON for use with iPhone dev
#2
We ended up using JSON for an iPhone app. We created the POST body manually (it was fairly straightforward) and used Stig Brautaset's Objective-C JSON framework. Googling a bit, I see a JSON Over HTTP On The iPhone Tutorial. I wrote the server side not the client side, but our iPhone developer reported it was fairly straightforward, and had less problems than the XML-RPC client we were using before.
#3
on the server side? what did you do? I am about to try some of this a little latter in the month. any sugestions would be helpful
#4
On the server side, we just used the Services and JSON Server modules and everything pretty much worked. The Service Module Example provided a good start.
We ran into a few small problems, I reported bugs and posted patches for most of them, if you run into trouble definitely glance through the trouble tickets.
#5
Great job! If you need any help especially the client-server side communication please drop me a mail. We have gone thru the whole process when developing Tapatalk (http://www.tapatalk.com), a vbulletin/phpBB forum client on iPhone. And in case you have started on the Forum module let us know how it goes and see if there is something we can work together.
We are looking into the possibility of porting it to Drupal.

@scottgifford I've been trying to do similar, how ever having crossdomain issues, and not having much luck with the JSON/P patch. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get around this? Thanks so much, seems like I have been going in circles with this issue.

It's simple. If you need further help, let me know.
