The deletion of iPhone application data from remote server

  1. What I am trying to do is when a user deletes data from server end & thus same data saved locally on mobile app should be deleted.

  2. Scenario:

    Employee A is working in organisation & employee A is having organisation app & app data. When Employee A leaves the organisation, data from his organisation app can be deleted by organisation authority from server end without asking the Employee A.

  3. The mechanism to do this might be
  4. A. Manually check at regular interval from server whether the data exists on server side. The mechanism is inefficient.
  5. B. Push Notification: This looks good that whenever data is deleted from server end, push notification get fires and ask app to delete respected data. The issue is user i.e Employee A may stop push notification of app.
  6. C. Both A & B.

Query: So Please suggest what can be trusted & efficient way (A-C or any) to implement above scenario.

You could simply check, at app launch time or when it is woken from sleep, if data needs to be deleted. You could design a specific API endpoint on the server end which would allow that. Plus, that mechanism would also allow some kind of interaction with the user, to let him know that his data has been deleted.
