Comment on Build an iOS App on Heroku in 10 Minutes

Comments

This seems like a really easy way for iOS developers to build/prototype apps with a cloud backend.

Is there any security to this or is it just good for prototyping? What's to stop me from requesting user accounts with passwords?

Probably not a great idea as-is, without some level of user authentication. I'm definitely working on a nice, integrated solution for that.

In the meantime, you can mount Rack::CoreData (https://github.com/mattt/rack-core-data), which powers the Buildpack, alongside other authentication middleware to create a workable production application.
