Turbo Native iOS for RubyMotion

Build high-fidelity hybrid apps with native navigation and a single shared web view. Turbo Native iOS for RubyMotion provides the tooling to wrap your Turbo 7-enabled web app in a native iOS shell. It manages a single WKWebView instance across multiple view controllers, giving you native navigation UI with all the client-side performance benefits of Turbo.

Features

• Deliver fast, efficient hybrid apps. Avoid reloading JavaScript and CSS. Save memory by sharing one WKWebView.
• Reuse mobile web views across platforms. Create your views once, on the server, in HTML. Deploy them to iOS, Android, and mobile browsers simultaneously. Ship new features without waiting on App Store approval.
• Enhance web views with native UI. Navigate web views using native patterns. Augment web UI with native controls.
• Produce large apps with small teams. Achieve baseline HTML coverage for free. Upgrade to native views as needed.

Features of Turbo Native iOS for RubyMotion

• Ruby syntax. Native performance. Build native iOS and Android apps using the Ruby syntax you know and love with the same performance as Swift and Java by using RubyMotion.

Requirements

Turbo Native iOS for RubyMotion is compatible with all versions of RubyMotion.

Note: You should understand how Turbo works with web applications in the browser before attempting to use Turbo iOS. See the Turbo 7 documentation for details. Ensure that your web app sets the window.Turbo global variable as it's required by the native apps:

import { Turbo } from "@hotwired/turbo-rails"
window.Turbo = Turbo
