Microsoft adds iOS support to cloudy mobile services


 

Microsoft has rolled out the first major update to its Windows Azure Mobile Services offering, adding support for new data storage and communications methods and making it possible to connect Mobile Services with iOS apps.

Redmond debuted Mobile Services in August as an easy way for developers to deploy backend services for their apps on Microsoft's Windows Azure cloud platform using a simple, web-based interface, without writing their own server-side code.

But it was hard to see just what made them "mobile" at the time, since the only kind of apps that could connect to Mobile Services were Windows Store apps for Windows 8. Not even Windows Phone apps were supported.
