I need to be able to use https to connect to a server and I'm wondering if there's recommended way of doing this on the iPhone that's NOT: - an undocumented api call - does not require manually storing certificates in the app bundle
Thanks all.

NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection are what you're looking for. Start with the docs for those.
What's the problem you have with using https? The URL Loading System (i.e. NSURLConnection) and WebKit both support it out-of-the-box. The only issue I know of is with using untrusted certificates, and the only solution I know of to that is (unfortunately) to use a private API call. But you shouldn't be shipping an app that relies on communicating with a server that uses untrusted certificates anyway.
