I want to implement realtime collaboration in my iOS app using Google Drive and the new realtime API. I know that I can set up a web view in Objective-C and set up two-way communications between the web view and my native app, and therefore use the javascript library, but my fear is that this would be inefficient for a high volume of data traffic. I was hoping that possibly there would be a native solution coming on the horizon. Any news on whether the Google API client library for Objective-C will be updated to include the Google Drive Realtime API?

I do not know about the Google real time api but for google drive integration this would work. There is a sample app called Dr.Edit here.

Using UIWebView for doing all this stuff is not advised.

  • Yeah, thanks, I have gone through the Google Drive API docs on the Google developer site, and that is a good example. Problem is, I would like (need?) to integrate with the realtime API in Objective-C. For now, the only way I can see to do this is through a UIWebView like [this](http://ramkulkarni.com/blog/calling-objective-c-function-from-javascript-in-ios-applications/) – Ronm6667 Apr 19 '13 at 15:25
