Delphi XE2 on iOS with Indy or Third Party Internet Components

Question

Are there third party components available for Delphi XE2 to create iOS applications with Internet support?

For example, the Indy components that ship with Delphi XE2 do not work with a FireMonkey iOS app. I want to be able to communicate with a REST Web Service in my iOS app.

On FPC lists, people complain that the resolving doesn't work properly on iOS, but that the base sockets do work. The question is probably where iOS differs from OS X wrt resolving of DNS names.

I assume something similar is going on with the FPC in under XE2, but am not entirely sure since FM is not VCL, and the event pump might be different which could create additional problems.

Anyway, if you can get it compiled, try with only IPs as host to see if it is a general problem, or the relatively simple DNS resolving biut.

Looks like Real Thin Client has support you need: http://www.realthinclient.com/
