Hi Rob The JSON part is easy. You can either roll it yourself, or use a library like RestSharp, which wraps up a lot of it for you. Thats my preference. ServiceStack may also work, tho it's not something I've used personally.
.NET 4.5 stuff, however, doesn't _directly_ work on MonoTouch (or Mono), so I doubt you'd be able to take your 4.5-generated client and use it unchanged on MT. That said, I've not used 4.5 much, so I may be very wrong there. A quick google around says it uses SAML 2.0, tho I suspect you'll have to write a lot of it yourself. You might be better off wrapping the 4.5 WIF stuff and exposing it as a less-MS-specific manner. eg using oauth for the authentication, and then wrapping it up on the server into a WIF call if needed. Looking at this WebAPI tutorial: http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/getting-started-with-aspnet-web-api/tutorial-your-first-web-api It looks like it's all REST + JSON, which RestSharp / ServiceStack / just doing it yourself is fairly easy.
