Master-Detail object access through REST API on IOS

I have a native IOS App created using forceios. I have many objects on salesforce. I am able to access the independent objects using REST API.  But I am not able to access the Master-Detail object using the same method. How can I access the Master-Detail object using REST API on IOS

Thanks

In other words I would like to know how to use REST API on IOS to retrieve child records

I am using this code to access an independent object. I tried to change the option to query. Couldnt get it work. Any advise would be very helpful.

SFRestRequest *request = [[SFRestAPI sharedInstance] requestForQuery:@"SELECT NAME, Id, Testing_IOS_Display__c FROM Employee_Info__c LIMIT 10"];
    [[SFRestAPI sharedInstance] send:request delegate:self];

The Mobile SDK simply provides a REST API for your SOQL queries. As long as your query is correctly fetching the master-detail fields, it should work fine in your iOS app. I would recommend you try checking the validity of your query using a tool such as Workbench or Force.com explorer and then including it in your iOS code. Hope that helps.
