Answer 1

SOAP is pretty horrible to deal with, but not impossible. If you have the option to use JSON instead then that is a much better alternative.

Here is a great article on SOAP on iOS: http://blog.exadel.com/2011/03/working-with-ios-and-soap/

Answer 2

TRy http://sudzc.com/. It generates a code for you and be able to parse any Soap message very easily and quickly.

Answer 3

I've used wsdl2objc (http://code.google.com/p/wsdl2objc/) quite successfully. You'll have to set a compiler flag and add a build path, but otherwise it's pretty much hassle-free.

Answer 4

Please see the demo prepared for iOS/OSX using sample web service.

It uses swift - SOAP request creator & response parser.

DEMO

Done using Alamofire & SWXMLHash library
