I have just ported a program to OSX. The program uses the IBPP library
to access Firebird and I have used XCode without problems.
Firebird itself is installed as a framework in OSX so you need to use a
special linker switch (-framework).
Cocoa is Objective-C and IBPP is C++: I am not an expert and I do not
know if you can integrate the two languages, but I think that it is
probably possible.
Maybe there are also higher-level interfaces, but I did not look for them.
