Question

I’m wanting to perform currency conversions in my iPhone app.

Putting aside the issues of number formatting or currency symbols, how do I convert from X USD to Y CAD (or similar)?

I know Google and Yahoo! have APIs which deal with this kind of thing, I just lack the knowledge to access it from my app.

Any code or URLs to examples would be cool.

Thanks,
Dave.

does that help? scroll to the currency conversion stuff there where there’s a datasource mentioned which returns XML. You may then use the NSXML parser to parse the results

check this one as well, looks dead simple:
