REST API iOS development [closed]

I'm having lots of trouble setting up the RestKit API to my app. I wonder if there is any other good API to make RESTful apps? I've just followed lots of tutorials and the github directory of the RestKit API, but I just can't get it up and running. I've seen that Xcode 4 is having problems importing this API.


This is an old question, Nowadays, after 4 years in iOS development I use AFNetworking: https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking

It is quite simple to start, and can be installed using cocoapods.
