How to access SOAP services from iPhone

I’m planning to develop an app for the iPhone and that app would have to access a couple of SOAP services. While doing some basic checking in the iPhone SDK I was not able to find any support for accessing SOAP services, a bit of Googling lead to the conclusion that there is no support for SOAP in the iPhone SDK.

So if I do want to build that app I’ll need to come up with a approach to access SOAP services from the iPhone. What would be the best approach? Any best practices? Did someone already write a library using the functionality that is present in the iPhone SDK to access SOAP services?

(Since the service I need to access is exposed by another party and they only expose it as SOAP, it’s unfortunately not an option to switch to another type of interface (e.g. REST based API).
