I have a website that has a back-end SQL 2014 database that I need to make the data accessible through an ios App. I need to be able to search records and edit records. What are my options?
Everything I can find on the internet is old info and I have to believe there is a logical way these days.
Options I have found;
Webservices
3rd party service (not an option)
Core Data (looking into this option)
SQL 2016 has BI but don't think this will work (Looking into this now)
How to access SQL database from an iPhone app Via RESTful WCF service hosted on IIS 7.5[^] - This is close but still seems outdated (2012)
Any links are appreciated.

What I have tried:

I have tried webservices and looked into 3rd party options.
Webservices might work but seems a little complex for what I need to do.
3Rd party software might work but I am trying to find something I can do without having to have to pay for the service.

Will also need to extend this to Android devices as well.
Data is currently in SQL but if moving to another software will make things easier it might be worth my time. ie Oracle.
I think MySQL, SQLight and Filemaker are all unable to handle the amount of data and users.
