Nope.

There are no Apple recommendations, but I'm personally fond of RESTKit (http://restkit.org). I tend to eschew its object mapping abilities in favor of the straight-up REST requests and responses; in this mode it presents a much (IMO) friendlier wrapper around NSURLConnection and NSURLRequest.
As for server APIs, I've always just written my own very simple REST router in PHP when needed; I've worked almost exclusively with servers implemented by others, so I can't speak to what's good there.
HTH!
