Re: iOS app development

I'll try to answer some of your questions.

- When I do a check for $this->request->isMobile() the result is false; is that because we are using the simulator?

I don't know, but I think yes.

- What part does the RequestHandler component play in this? I have included it in AppController.

yes, I would put in the AppController, in beforeFilter() or beforeRender()

- The CakePHP app contains al the correct redirects and logic flow. Does the iOS app need to replicate these (in other words, the logic is stored in two places) or can the CakePHP code drive the redirect equivalent statements for iOS?

I think you can use the same controller, but create other views for iOS requests. For example, if you have a "Post" controller and a "Index" action, you will have "app/View/Posts/index.ctp" for web requests and "app/View/Posts/Mobile/index.ctp" (or "app/View/Posts/Ios/index.ctp") for ios requests. In the AppController you will redirect the view for the mobile paste if it is a mobile request.
