Backend for iOS app

Question

My question is how do i get information from a server to my iphone app. let's assume I have completed my current project I'm working on that only needs data to be uploaded to my application.

I understand there is a database or server I must create but how do I go about creating or modifying one for my needs.

I mainly want to store login information from one user and allow users to search for people who have entered login information (name) to add to a friends lists within the current app.

i think in your case you can use Django-tastypie for backend will be good choice.since using django you can develop it in quick time and the tastypie has api services which can used easily for retrieval and sending data

Answer 2

Take a look at services like Stackmob or Parse. These types of service could make it really easy for you to get the server side part of your application up and running. These services would act as your database and also provide an easy api for you to access the server side pieces.
