App Data Store

So I am new to developing apps. I am working a workout app where I want to store data about a users workout. Searching things, there looks to be a few ways to do this: 1) local data store on the local device (no network connection required) 2) Firebase backend DB (connection required). I am not looking at storing a lot of data. Suggestions of which might be better? Any good explanation tutorials?


Thanks,

-Bruce

I would lean towards storing workaround records in HealthKit (see the documentation here) rather than in something custom. That way the results will be available to other parts of the system, including other apps (subject to user approval, of course).

ps If do decide to go the HealthKit route there’s an App Frameworks > HealthKit topic area where you can post follow-up questions.

Share and Enjoy
