Drupal iOS SDK - Connect your iOS/OS X app to Drupal

What you need to know

The Drupal iOS SDK is a standard set of libraries for communicating to Drupal from any iOS device. Its extremely simple. If you wanted to get a node you can do so by instantiating a DIOSNode Object, creating an NSDictionairy and running the nodeGet method. Heres an example:

    DIOSNode *node = [[DIOSNode alloc] init];
    NSMutableDictionary *nodeData = [NSMutableDictionary new];
    [nodeData setValue:@"12" forKey:@"nid"];
    [node nodeGet:nodeData success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
      //Do Something with the responseObject
      NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
      //we failed, uh-oh lets error log this.
      NSLog(@"%@,  %@", [error localizedDescription], [operation responseString]);    
    }];
    

For every DIOS Object you make, any method calls that are available to you use blocks. This allows us to define what happens when we have a request that fails or succeeds. If the request was successful the result would be something like this:

{"vid":"9","uid":"57","title":"testtitle","log":"","status":"1".......

However if it failed, the error might look like this:

Expected status code in (200-299), got 404,  "Node 5 could not be found"

Troubleshooting

If you are getting Access denied, or API Key not valid, double check that your key settings are setup correctly at admin/build/services/keys and double check that permissions are correct for your user and anonymous.

X service doesnt exist in Drupal iOS SDK

You no longer really need to subclass any existing DIOS classes, unless you want to override. [DIOSSession shared] ensures that session information is stored for as long as the cookies are valid If you do want to make your own object, just follow the pattern in the other files and everything should work fine.
