This document summarizes an iOS training session where participants learned to build a native iOS app using an API backend. The training covered Objective-C, UI components, setting up a backend using Apigee, and interacting with the backend to get, add, and delete data. Attendees built a book browsing app that retrieved book data from a remote Apigee backend. Advanced topics like push notifications, geolocation and scaling apps were also briefly discussed.
