Hi i am trying to connect my iphone aap directly to the MySQL database. I did a lot of reading, and i found that by using MCPkit we can access the database. Now i also found that the mcpkit is not supported in iphone, while it runs in simulater. Can somebody tell me whats the deal with this. I know the other alternative is web services, but i have to directly connect to the DB. so please can somebody help me with this problem.
A:
If there is no way out of using MySQL directly, then you might consider to have a look at Sequel Pro which picked up where CocoaMySQL left. It appears to be actively maintained whereas MCPKit haven't released any updates in a couple of years.
I can't say whether Sequel Pro will allow you to build for the iPhone, but my guess is that it will have a higher chance of success than MCPKit.
You can grab a copy of Sequel Pro including source code (GPL) from Google Code.
