Hey guys Im not really new to programming but everything I know i taught myself. So I am not very smart about everything code. So far I am designing an app and I know I am going to need to use some sort of cloud storage. Basically the app is going to be a membership app where you will have to log in to and it will allow you to write and save data so that other users can see and use it. Not a social media app just a simple business note/data sharing app for a small business. So I have two questions... One, I read a little bit about there being a way to allow a user to automatically be logged into my app without actually having to create a login screen for them to log in and out of everytime. Is that true and what would I have to look into to do this. Basically something like how Facebook and Instagram works where you don't have to log in every time.. I don't want to use Facebook or Instagram to log in.. I just want to know how to create a log in to work similar to how theirs does.. Two, I am developing the app for Apple first(not a big fan of cross-platform apps) then plan on adding to the android store being that not every user is going to have an iPhone like me. For this reason I may not be able to use coredata or icloud for saving things, given that I am planning on sharing this data between platforms... Any advice on what I should do? It will start off with around a hundred people and expand from there depending on its popularity.. It will also be a free app.. The data that is shared will be like addresses and notes.. Thanks a ton!!
You can use CloudKit as the database and connect to it from Android using CloudKitJS.
The log in thing - CloudKit has a private space for each user (iCloud Account). You can use that private space to store the user's credentials. There is no need for any further log in beyond the user's iCloud Account which they do outside of your app.
