What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?

Each instance of my iOS app needs to maintain a list of other users of the app and be able to send them information, and retrieve information they have sent. Think email, but without the image, attachment, etc. overhead -- more like sending tweets as emails. What sort of host/infrastructure woul

I've been using LC on an on-rev server and a MySQL database for such tasks - I like the fact that the client and server bits can all be coded with LC :) You'll find MySQL on just about every hosting package, so it's usually a safe bet for choice of database. On 06/04/2013 18:10, Geoff Canyon

With on-rev, how do you handle authentication/a secure connection? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/list

I don't rely on SSL - to avoid any potential hassles with Apple's app store - "Does your application use encryption?". The scheme I did use will work happily with SSL, if the data is sensitive, and without, for routine app data, game data, etc. As an example, my requests to the server contain;

Hi John. Speaking of Apple App Store restrictions, I see May 1 changes will restrict UDID use. Any plans yet to deal with that? see apple-to-deny-apps-using-udid-data-lacking-iphone-5-display-support-starting-may-1

I've been using the push notification device token to store device specific data - works pretty well. On 07/04/2013 16:35, tbodine wrote: Hi John. Speaking of Apple App Store restrictions, I see May 1 changes will restrict UDID use. Any plans yet to deal with that? see apple-to-deny-apps-usi

I'm probably missing something very obvious If you don't use encryption or SSL, how do the user's credentials initially get onto the server so that they can subsequently be checked ? -- Alex. On 07/04/2013 14:10, John Craig wrote: I don't rely on SSL - to avoid any potential hassles with

Re: What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?

In my case, the user credentials are an app id and a password. They are set up manually, beforehand, to allow any number of app instances running on users' devices to connect and share data. If you want to create actual user accounts through your app and don't want to send plain text then you'r

Re: What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?

I didn't know encryption was an issue for the App Store. I'm working on pretty non-sensitive stuff, so some variant of what you're doing should work. Thanks! Sent from my iPad On Apr 7, 2013, at 8:10 AM, John Craig wrote: > I don't rely on SSL - to avoid any potential hassles with Apple's app

Re: What's the best way to store data that one iOS app sends to another?

I've been thinking about this. I'm assuming (all with salt): 1. At some point the user set a password. At that point the iOS app applies MD-5, sends that to the server, and stores the hash locally. 2. When the app wants to access something from the server, it makes a request for an authenticati

Hi all, Third attempt at my original first post to the list after writing far too much - I'll do shorter versions and split it in two. I'm new to LiveCode but went for the lifetime commercial license in the Kickstarter campaign so I'm planning to get a lot more active after I finish my current

Makes sense. If the pricing model is a major factor you might also want to look at StackMob. I believe they have unlimited free use of their basic feature set. Geoff Canyon wrote: >On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 5:41 AM, Mark Wilcox wrote: > >> Firebase but it's primarily about sending small chunks

Geoff is this for an app in the same room/wifi? Or two apps anywhere need to keep in sync. If it's the same room then the peer to peer stuff in gamekit would do nicely. I've implemented it in mergGK -- Monte Goulding M E R Goulding - software development services mergExt - There's an external f

Monte, not sure if you're aware but Apple's not at all keen on non-game apps using GameKit. Shame because there's loads of really useful generic stuff in GameKit. Non games that show up in Game Center get rejected, or occasionally approved and then removed later. Monte Goulding wrote: >Geoff
