sync service question


  • Subject: sync service question
  • From: Olivier Destrebecq <email@hidden>

I'm trying to create an application to sync the address book with some device.

I'm stuck at the point where i need to convert the data from the device format to something form the sync server can understand. I put all the attributes in a dictionary following the examples online, but then i need to put in the relationships in and i get stuck. Anyone has pointers on how to do this. Apparently i need to put in the record identifier for the item in the relationship. But how do i get those since i can't keep track of these on the device.

more specifically i have problem with the relationships: addresses, emails, phone numbers from the contact entity.
Since the device cannot keep track of the changes, i have to do a slow sync every time, and i cannot keep track of the record ids on the device
I did not find any straight forward example on apple web site.


any help appreciated.
