typical iphone app client-server communication

pwd · 2010-09-10 13:16:14

Hi What web service standard is typically used by an iphone app (where the webservice was specifically designed for the application)?..Or does it use http postbacks, when it doesn't need to be asynchronous? Looking at the possibility of porting an existing iphone app to an RIA (know nothing about iphone development) Thanks…

A bit buzzwordy, but I keep my web services RESTful and it works quite well building desktop apps and websites that use the service.

That doesn't really cover asynchronous stuff though. I suppose on the service side you could abstract out the callback side of things so that for iPhone client you send a push notification or something... But that's a massive guess by me.
