Google API for iPhone SDK Released

Google API for iPhone SDK Released. Google has just released a set of APIs in their GData Objective-C Client Library that will allow iPhone developers to use Google APIs alongside Apple's APIs in the iPhone SDK. Of course, all applications written in Objective-C should be able to take advantage of the new Google APIs, but the real draw here is the iPhone compatibility.

“Perhaps you want your iPhone software to send photos to a Picasa Web Albums account, or keep a journal of phone calls automatically in Blogger. Maybe your iPhone application accesses a database of information from a Google Spreadsheet or from Google Base. With the Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library, creating software for these tasks is straightforward.”

“If you are writing iPhone software, just drag the “GData Sources” group folder from the GData project file into your iPhone project, and use the GData APIs as you would when writing a Mac application.”

Included in the new Google APIs is the Google Blogger API, Google Spreadsheet API, Google Contacts API and YouTube API - which allows the iPhone users to directly upload videos to YouTube or edit their Google contacts.
