The post explores the process of implementing data replication and synchronization across iOS devices using Couchbase Mobile, which includes Couchbase Server, Sync Gateway, and Couchbase Lite. It guides users through setting up a sample iOS app to demonstrate core concepts such as push and pull replication, authentication, access control, channels, and sync functions, while noting that the principles apply to other mobile platforms like Android and Xamarin. Detailed instructions for installing and configuring the Sync Gateway are provided, including a discussion on the use of JavaScript sync functions for document validation and access control. The post also covers the integration of Couchbase Lite into iOS apps through the native API, emphasizing its role in replicating data between local databases and the Sync Gateway. The demo app example illustrates how to handle user authentication and manage document synchronization, including setting up continuous replication and monitoring its status. The post concludes by inviting feedback and highlighting upcoming features in Couchbase Mobile 2.0.
