To connect with IOS app first you need to create mobile app in azure portal.
for that you can follow below procedure:
Go to search bar in azure portal and search for app service click on that and create new by giving required details:
Click on create, after deployment go to configuration under settings and click on new application settings. In the Add/Edit application setting page, enter Name as MobileAppsManagement_EXTENSION_VERSION and Value as latest and hit OK.
for creating database connection Download the client SDK quickstarts for the following platforms:
iOS (Objective-C)
iOS (Swift)
Android (Java)
Xamarin.iOS
Xamarin.Android
Xamarin.Forms
Cordova
Windows (C#)
Create Azure sql database and copy the connection string of database:
Server=tcp:<server>.database.windows.net,1433;Initial Catalog=<db>;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=demouser;Password={your_password};MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;
Add the connection string to your mobile app In App Service, you can manage connection strings for your application by using the Configuration option in the menu.
To add a connection string:
Click on the Application settings tab.
Click on [+] New connection string.
You will need to provide Name, Value and Type for your connection string.
Type Name as MS_TableConnectionString
Value should be the connecting string you formed in the step before.
If you are adding a connection string to a SQL Azure database choose SQLAzure under type.
In this way you can connect azure SQL database to IOS app.
