There are many guides, and libraries available to make HTTP communication between iOS apps/servers easier.  I’ve found an excellent step-by-step tutorial that demonstrates how to use NSStream and CSStream to communicate from within your iOS apps to a TCP server.

The tutorial is from Cesare Rocchi and also demonstrates the basics of creating a custom TCP server using Python, and the Twisted networking engine along with how to make a simple interface for the client in Cocoa Touch..

You can find the tutorial here:
How To Create A Socket Based iPhone App And Server

You can read more about the Twisted networking engine on their offical site here:

Overall this is a great tutorial that guides you with detail through every step.

A pretty common problem is the need to communicate using AES encrpytion.  While Base64 encoding is fairly easy to implement AES encryption/decryption with the CCCrypt library is not terribly straightforward with the iOS SDK and numerous tutorials have been written on the subject.

I found a very simple to use encryption library from Hiroshi Hashiguchi that wraps the CCCrypt librar and allows you to very easily perform Base64 Encoding/Decoding with AES 256 bit support.

You can find the library on Github here:
https://github.com/dev5tec/FBEncryptor

Included on the Github page are full instructions, and there is a sample project including demonstrating use of the library.

Last week I mentioned the LightMenuBar customizable menubar implementation which allows for a simple customizable menubar to be added into iOS apps.

I found a project from Jason Morrisey known as JMTabView that allows you to add a beautiful dark colored tab selector to the top of your apps, and also a equally beautiful tab bar to the bottom of your apps. All fully animated. The bars are drawn entirely using core graphics rather than images so they can easily customize to your content.

Here’s a screenshot off the upper tab view, and tab bar in action:

A great example of how to create some beautiful looking navigation.

Several great resources were shared on this site this week, especially for game developers using the Cocos 2D and Unity 3D game developers.

I also updated the Open Source iPhone Apps listing with 4 new open source apps, and repaired any dead links have now been repaired.

Here are the most popular new resources from the last week:

Tutorial: Developing 2D Games With Unity 3D – A great set of guides for developing 2D games with Unity 3D using 2D sprites for gameplay, and 3D models for background objects.

Tool: Open Source Visual Editor For Cocos2D – A free and open source visual tool for developing with Cocos2D.  A great time-saving tool.

Open Source: Simple Customizable Menubar Implementation – A lightweight library for adding easily customizable menu bars to the top of your Cocoa Touch apps.

Open Source: Beginners Map Kit Demo (Utilizing ASIHttpRequest, JSONKit, and MBProgressHUD) – An open source project for those learning to use the iOS Map Kit that utilizes several excellent open source libraries.

Open Source: Tiny Wings Style Cocos2D Game and the Tutorial: Creating A Tiny Wings Style Game With Cocos2D – which make a great tutorial on how to create a popular iOS game with some cool features like dynamic textures, and terrain.

Making A Great Looking App Product Page – A set of tips showing how a developer of several popular iOS apps enhances his product page to increase downloads.
