I know this is not a technical question but I don't know where to ask elsewhere.
I use the very cool toolkit called trigger.io to develop apps for both android and ios. Now I would like to use something like a database to display data in my app.
Firstly I found a realtime backend called firebase: http://www.firebase.com/
Nice but it takes a while until one gets access to it since it is still in beta.
Then I found a cloud service called Kinvey: http://www.kinvey.com/ Also interesting, but it is free as long as only 200 users download the app.
So do you know any alternatives to store data and use it for my app?
That would be very helpful,
thanks enne
Sure. Parse is an easy option. Basic plan to get start is $0 a month.
Also, there is nothing stopping you from bundling (or download and saving and caching) a json file for use in your trigger.io app.

I'm actually creating my first personal project with swift which is an app that will present every prospect in the next NFL draft with info about them. I want to do kind of a database for the users to be able to browse around every player.
What I don't know how to do yet is how should I do to store the data. I thought about realm or coreData but I want to find a solution that will allow me to sync the data from a server to update the info in real-time for the users. There is no user data to update or save. I find the MongoDB Realm platform but I don't find a lot of resources about it. If anyone has any idea for how I should do, already thank you!
Have a nice day,
Matteo!
I've made good experiences with Firestore. Its free (up to a certain usage) and has quite some good and clear documentation.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/query-data/listen
I agree with the other answer. Firebase is a fantastic realtime database to use for this specific idea. It's extremely easy to get started and the documentation is straight forward. I just started using it a couple weeks ago after switching over from AWS.

are there any good references to start looking into building a simple but efficient tracking/event tool? Super simple version of a tool like Google Analytics. I am assuming this consist of two separate applications. One for the front-end which gets embedded into the client's website, and a back-end API to handle the events, queue, etc.
Preferred tools for the back-end for me is Rails.
I appreciate the help.
You'd be reinventing the wheel, but you'll need a javascript library to track the user and a rails API. Pretty much what you seem to know you need.
Here's the documentation on building a rails API: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html
Refer to the top answer here for the javascript module: User Activity Tracking or Logging with javascript

For my iPhone app, I have to download approximately 300 images and store them in CoreData for later use. I have those pictures online, as files, stored in a folder on my server. I want to be able to inform the user of the progress, remaining time, and so on.
I have always been using NSURLConnection and it works great, but just for one image. If I try to download multiple images, it will work, but because they are separate requests, I'm not able to inform the user of the progress.
That's why I'd like to use a library to do this, but the one I most liked hasn't been updated since 2011...: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest
What could I do to resolve this issue? Use another library? Or are there any solutions?
There is Alamofire if you use swift. If you use objective-c there is AFNetworking.
Both have a very simple methods to load the image even asynchronously. You can even track the progress with the framework.
Check these out! these are what you are looking for
Alamofire
AFNetworking

I'm getting ready to set up a website for my support URL for the app before I submit to the App Store. I was thinking I'll probably just do a WordPress site. Any thoughts or suggestions? I'd love to get some links to some good themes, on the cheap.
You could set up a simple static page on github, if you're using that to host your source (or even if not): http://pages.github.com/
There's a lot of WordPress themes out there for app websites. Here's one I ran across a while back: http://www.appdesignvault.com/darstell-iphone-wordpress-theme/.
It's free if you tweet about them! Am considering using this for my app, or using it as a starting point for my own wordpress theme.
This is a brief review of some paid themes. Most are inexpensive. (note: website seems to load slow)
http://www.devlounge.net/design/6-wordpress-themes-for-iphone-apps/
Here's some others. I haven't looked into them much though.

Good luck!
I'm hosting a static site on Heroku for Railscasts for iOS. It's free and barely requires any maintenance.

I'm developing a project for the iPad. My project is for a medical representatives. I need to populate their appointments, samples sold, to be delivered samples, etc.
I have to work with Cloud interface. For this I have got 2 words which I have to work with.
SalesForce
ZKSForce
I can see documentation about how to use this. But I want to know what is this? What is the purpose of using this.
Why to use SalesForce? Is ZKSForce a free library? Is there any other library apart from ZKSForce?
I need information about these two.
zkSforce is an open source cocoa library that accesses the salesforce.com SOAP api, You could use that or you could use the iOS Mobile SDK which uses the salesforce.com REST api.
