Does iPhone support XML-RPC, Is their any open source framework which I can use?

With the continued growth of our REST APIs, we made the decision to officially deprecate the SOAP and XML-RPC remote APIs in JIRA 6.0.
XML-RPC is a specification that enables communication between WordPress and other systems. It did this by standardizing those communications, using HTTP as the transport mechanism and XML as the encoding mechanism.
XML-RPC has great support in python, in the standard library. SOAP supports document-level transfer, whereas xml-rpc is more about values transfer, although it can transfer structures such as structs, lists, etc. xm-rpc is really about program to program language agnostic transfer. It primarily goes over http/https.
XML-RPC (short for Extensible Markup Language remote procedure call) is a protocol specification for executing RPC calls (remote calls in computer networks) using the stateless network protocol HTTP and the markup language XML, which gives it part of its name.
Checkout the source for the wordpress app. They might be using XML-RPC. :)

"Airsource Ltd" is really really incredibly wrong about that document. That document is specific to Mac OS X and NOT the iPhone. In fact (almost) all Apple iPhone documentation is hidden away behind a login page and a licence agreement. Most of the technologies that document refer to (e.g. AppleScript) do not even exist on the iPhone.
Amit, you'll have Zero luck if you follow Airsource's advice. You will however do ok if you do as "Lounges" says and go grab the wordpress source code. It looks like they rolled their own XMLRPC library for use on the iPhone.
As for SOAP - you're on your own. You might be able to find an opensource SOAP library built on top of libxml2 though. Good luck.
