Hello, I want to know how to access Oracle Apex Database (like the Tables) using Swift code to develop an app. I should be a to add, update and delete each entire in the table on the app. I mean at the end it should be a App which uses the data from the Oracle apex's Tables.

Can you clarify what you mean by "access Oracle Apex Database (like the Tables)"

Do you mean just access some of *your* tables, which happen to also be behind an APEX app, or do you mean access the APEX data dictionary (eg views like apex_applications, apex_workspaces etc etc)

In any event, accessing an Oracle database will likely require either Oracle client software to be installed ( https://www.oracle.com/au/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html ), or exposing data sources via REST ( https://www.oracle.com/au/database/technologies/appdev/rest.html )

If this was server side Swift, you'd probably put an Oracle client there. If its directly from an app, then you would look at REST to get access to the remote database sources exposed by ORDS
