Simple iOS7 App authentication prototype

This is a simple project to create an iOS App, database and REST API. Provide details of how you will achieve this and/or a prototype and you will get our attention. Specifically we are looking to see which frameworks and best practices you will use. We do not consider generic responses so please read the requirement and reply accordingly. Once this has been delivered we will ask you to enhance the API to integrate other features (via a new project). You will provide the following: Database: A simple MySQL database to store secure user credentials. REST Web Service API: A simple api which provide authentication, account creation, login and password reminder functionality. iOS7 App: Create an App which works on both iPad and iPhone. It will consume the above service. Design: It has to look amazing, its only has splash and login screen but show us what you can do. Minamilist, flat iOS7 type design is what we want.
