Whether to write an app in xCode or make it a webApp in PHP/mySQL

I have developed an iOS app that uses CoreData/SQLite. It works, but now I have to populate it with data.

I am wondering what the best method would be. As you ca开发者_Python百科n see from the title of this post, I am thinking of these two options, but maybe there is another way.

I'm not sure whether I will have multiple people entering data (that would be great), so that is a consideration..

I welcome advice.

How about a mix of both? you can upload the data to a webserver ( depending on what you want to do with it ). Offer people to have a web app for home and an iphone app for when th ey are on the go. The data they add can be stored locally so they don't need any internet when abroad, which makes the app useable on the ipod touch

Native is (almost) always better than web-only. A server is extra overhead; a mix might simplify that a bit. And in most cases, even if your server goes down hopefully users can still use the app with what data they've already downloaded.
