I'm exploring my options for syncing Core Data from iOS apps to OSX, and vice versa. I just watched a presentation on zSync as a possible option, but noticed it's not really updated anymore. Does anyone have any preferred solutions for this?

Thanks, Zach

  1. Sync via iTunes. This is possible since iOS 4.0, I believe.
  2. Sync via a server running on the device. You can look here for a simple HTTP server. Other options include WebDAV, FTP, etc.
  3. Use cloud sync.

Option 2 and 3 are better if you don't want to sync the entire dataset but only subsets or if you need to do "complex" data syncing (think merging events from a calendar).

  • Thanks for the response. Do you have any info on cloud sync? – Zakman411 May 02 '11 at 01:40
  • @Zakman411: No. You probably need to create your own API (e.g. via HTTP) and have a custom program run on your server to deal with syncing. Maybe there are prebuilt solutions out there, but I don't know any... – ryyst May 02 '11 at 14:27
