This project includes the implementation of some of the most popular iOS native features including:
• Push Notifications • Ad Banners (Admob) • In-App Purchases • Rate This App • JSON Data Storage

This feature is in Beta. To experiment with it, comment in the code [self GetRemoteJSON]; in the bottom of the - (void)fetchedDataLocal method in ViewController.m. Then set your server jsonURL to #define kjsonURL [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://yourwebsite.com/remote.json"]
