[consulting] Drupal with Web Services

Tue Jul 26 12:12:06 UTC 2011

I've been really struggling to get a local Drupal 7 installation working with the Drupal iOS SDK (https://github.com/workhabitinc/drupal-ios-sdk)

I seem to have the Services, REST and PLIST Modules installed and have adjusted the permissions for my anonymous user.

I followed all the instructions in this video : http://vimeo.com/22635252

... and on the iPad I can see I am connected but it is the authentication that fails. He is using an API Key in the code but for the life of me I cannot find a way to create this key in Drupal.

Any ideas?

:-(
