Question

I am new to developing iPhone apps, and wanted to be sure that I am laying the correct foundation as I go about the coding process. The app that I am developing will permit users to login, upload photos from their iPhones, write a short description for the picture, as well as view other users photos. Where should I be storing the following data, and how should this be architect-ed? I have heard core data, sqlite, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc… The data I need to capture and store is:
-Username
-Password
-Photos they upload
-Descriptions of the photos

Ideally, the architecture will support hundreds of thousands of user uploaded images (hypothetically).

I understand that this question is probably incredibly basic on some levels, but again, this is my first time navigating the data storage aspect of an iPhone app.

Answer 1

For Username and Password, look up KeyChain.

For everything else Core Data is good. SQLite is a possibility.
