Best practices for GAE & iOS

[Phil McDonnell]

Does anyone know of some good best practices out there for building an iOS client on top of your GAE project?  If you know of any good tutorials or presentations, that would be fantastic.

We have a site built using GAE and we're just designing our mobile strategy.  We are starting with iOS, but plan to expand to Android too.  We've been searching around and reading up, but I would really appreciate any pointers & wisdom you might have.

Thanks so much,

Phil

I have no best practices or practical experience to offer, but you might find touchengine interesting:

I'm currently working on a project with GAE as the backend and mobile (iOs, Android) + Web as client.

The backend is based on protorpc http://code.google.com/p/google-protorpc/ which is now part of GAE.

I hope it will help.

Phil,

I recommend you first take a look at the Android documentation and development tools for GAE + Android (which are pretty neat). They can give you ideas for the iOS rpc mechanism you're going to use... but as Sylvain has pointed out, you can use ProtoRPC which is a plain JSON protocol very simple to implement.

Have fun coding :)

To do auth, you can use OAuth. Google released a library that makes this easier:

Have not used this myself. Could be an interesting sample code project?
