How to write XML file with data from text fields

Question

I am creating a project in which I have three UITextField s and one UIButton . Now on text fields I have function that user give input. I define a target-action on button press which needs to save the values of the text fields in an XML file. How do I create an xml file and save all the data in xml file with unique ID?

-(IBAction)Submit:(id)sender{
    if([txtPhone.text length] == 0 || [txtPhone.text isEqualToString:@""] && [txtName.text length] == 0 || [txtName.text isEqualToString:@""] && [txtEmail.text length] == 0 || [txtEmail.text isEqualToString:@""] )
    {
        UIAlertView *info = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Info" message: @"Please fill the form." delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
        [info show];
        [info release]; 
    }
    else {
        sixthView=[[SixthView alloc] initWithNibName:@"SixthView" bundle:nil];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.sixthView animated:YES];
        self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:nil action:nil] autorelease];
    }
}

The XSWI project hosts a simple, standalone XML stream writer for iOS implemented in Objective-C . As such, it can be used for iPhone, iPad and iPod apps.

you could get the source code from github project .

check the SO post for creating an XML request in iPhone.

Why do you want to use XML? I recommend you to use CSV, its simpler and then export a CSV to iTunes. I have posted a code in my blog here about how to export a file to iTunes http://alwawee.com/wordpress/?p=429 . To generate unique name you can use current date in addition to some file name or use id, that is stored in NSUserDefaults.
