Parse SDK upgrades for iOS 8

Facebook’s Parse, a cloud system that powers apps on any platform, released a new version of its product for better support in iOS 8.

Parse SDK for iOS brings a number of performance and security update improvements including faster downloads and uploads for Parse Files, along with improved security for account data.

The updates ensure that Parse runs smoothly with the new iOS 8 APIs, and updated push notification integration everywhere to use the new iOS permissions style and support the category key.

Parse Files also allows users to easily store application files in the cloud that would otherwise be too large or cumbersome to fit into a regular database-style Parse Object.
