Microsoft has released a developer’s Windows Azure toolkit for iOS. The toolkit contains resources which make it easy for iOS developers to use Azure, the cloud-based building and hosting platform that allows developers to create apps and host them on Microsoft’s datacenters.
The iOS toolkit includes a compiled Objective-C library for services like push notifications, authN/authZs, and storage, as well as full source code for the objective-C library. Interested developers can download the toolkit through github here.
The goal of the iOS Azure toolkit (Microsoft is also planning an Android toolkit) is to “make it easier to target Windows Azure by offering native libraries for non-Microsoft platforms,” according to Microsoft. Let’s see how that works out for them.
