I'm working on an iPhone application that would allow viewing and editing of data that I want to keep in sync with a desktop application. I don't see anything in the SDK that directly addresses data synchronization, nor can I find anything that allows my to "hook" into the iTunes sync process.

I could do something kludgy like hiding the data in a photo or address book entry, but that just seems like a bad idea. I could use WebDAV or HTTP to get/put data to a server, but it makes the application more complicated.

I guess I was expecting this to be a common use-case for iPhone apps (syncing arbitrary application data between a desktop and the iPhone) and that there would be a set of APIs in the SDK that cover this. Maybe there is and I just can't find it.
