Android and iOS with Azure?

Are there any plans to get Azure working with Android and iOS? Trying to find a cheap way to have a hosted database, but still be able to use mobile apps, seems like there aren't any options.

Hi,
Could you give a try with the IOS version? We have few scenario that seems to work. The main issue is related to the Mono implementation of the SQL Server driver. The encrypted connection was missing but I know they merge more and more of the Microsoft stuff and we hope to have full support eventually.

Adding the datasource works, along with testing, but when objects try to load I get two errors.

"Unable to connect to your data source" and "Validation Unable to save the user in the database! Invalid object name 'sys.sql_logins'."

Does you user already exists in Azure? Have you configured them with the Windows version before?

I made a mistake. I was adding the data source as MS SQL instead of Azure on iOS. Works fine. As for Android, I was able to connect to Azure using the MS SQL option, I had to create a user within the desktop client, I was using the default server admin before.

Hi,

What about security and Azure? I don't see an option for encryption / TLS support in the data source connection settings. Doe that mean my data is going plain text via the web?

Hi,
Azure force the encrypted connection and it's by default.
