WCF Services are at heart SOAP Web Services. So you should be able to use an iPhone SOAP client library. See How to access SOAP services from iPhone.

I have had to make an app hit both a vanilla wcf and a wcf with rest support and the rest support is the way to go.

With rest, it was easier to just generate a standard web request in the app and get back XML that fed an NSXmlParser. There was no crazy soap request building. But then again, i didnt write the non-rest wcf service so maybe it just had configuration issues which made it more difficult.

The wcf rest service I wrote used the wcf rest starter kit from http://www.asp.net/downloads/starter-kits/wcf-rest
