i want to store my data (which i am gathering through my app) to xml and then send it to my webspace. How should i do it??

Your question contains several tasks.

Here is a solution for the upload part:

On sever-side you need to have a file-upload.

On iOS-side I suggest the usage of ASIHttpRequest

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setFile:@"path/to/ur/xml" forKey:@"file"];

Creating a (simple) XML-file should be quite easy, as it can be done just with String-operations.

1. fill a (mutable) Array with the objects you want to write to the xml
   • let's say, you have a collected address book data. you filled the array with Contacts objects
   • each contact has n addresses, that are stored in an array, a name,...
2. take the last object in the array
3. write <contact name="%@"> to a string, with passing in the contacts name
4. loop over the addresses and write <address kind="%@"> with specifying kind as "work", "private", "other"
5. do similair with the address data (street, city,...)
6. when done with a adress write </address>
7. when done with a contact write </contact>
8. remove last contact from array
9. if the array isnt empty, start again with 2.
10. wenn done with all data in the array, add <adressbook>in the beginning of the string and </addressbook> at the end.
