I’m currently making a small app for a business that just wants users to be able to view their coupons on their app instead of the fliers.
Since I am new at iPhone development I was just wondering how to do this. Right now I just have pictures of the coupons that are in the project. If I want to add new coupons however I would have to change the source code and then change the version.
Will I have to update the application every time I add new coupons? Or is there a way I can dynamically do it without the user having to update the application.
Thanks for any help/ideas.
You will want to store and update your coupons in the cloud (your own server, etc.) and define a RESTful interface to it. Then your app will download the up-to-date list of (active) coupons when the user opens it. You might want to use a library such as RestKit to avoid having to write the low-level Objective-C http code.
