I am developing an application that on the user’s first login must download a lot of data from my server and store it in a local database in my iOS app.
In my server I am using MySQL. And I need to download 70MB… to my iOS app to use this data locally, having or not connection.
What’s the best way to download this data? XML zipped? Export to a SQLite file, zip this file, and download?
Can you recommend any approach?
If the database on the server is dynamic; A good approach is to build an API for accessing the Database data on the server, you can build an API through PHP and have the app just read the responses of data as JSON or XML.
Another approach if the database is static and wont update frequently is to add the SQL database to the IOS app as an SQLite database and just run local sql queries on the app.
