We are planning to create a module to allow IPhone to communicate with ExpressionEngine.
In EE, actions are created at the time of installation of the module and will have different ids for each site.

Is there any possible way to communicate with the module function without using Action ID ?

Since we want to use the iPhone app to communicate with different EE installation, it will be a problem if the Action ID will change all the time.

crypton,

There are different ways to fetch an action ID
```
$aid = $this->EE->cp->fetch_action_id($class, $method);
```
or
```
$action_id = $this->EE->functions->fetch_action_id('Comment', 'insert_new_comment');
```
Can your module not pass these IDs to the iPhone app?

I am by no means an iPhone app developer but if you wish to write what you plan to do up some more then I can move this thread to the CodeShare Corner for you to share with our community
