[iOS] RestKit Tutorial Code For Version 0.20

I was trying to follow the RestKit tutorial at

RayWenderlich's Intro to RestKit Tutorial

but encountered various problems due to significant changes in the version 0.20 RestKit.

After searching for solutions at stackoverflow as well as RestKit.org, I finally found the missing pieces and got the example code working with RestKit version 0.20.

Firstly, after adding "#import <RestKit/RestKit.h>" in AppDelegate.m, there was a missing header file error when compiling the app. I found the solution here in stackoverflow.

To resolve this, I need to pull in additional files by running the command below in RestKit directory:

git submodule update --init --recursive

The following is code I used in MasterViewController. You should be able to reuse the other code found in RayWenderlich's tutorial for Location.m, Location.m, Venue.m, and Venue.h.

One key resource that help me was the wiki entry for RKObjectMapping at Restkit.org below:

  1. You are my hero, ultima60173!

    I just started working with RestKit and the Ray Wenderlich tutorial today, and I quickly found out that it didn't work for RestKit 0.20. Then I found this page, and was able to get the tutorial to work. RestKit is VERY cool!

    Thanks for doing the research, and posting it for others (like me) to benefit!

    =)
