Building iOS Apps with RubyMotion
summary
Claims RubyMotion produces real compiled iOS apps by compiling Ruby to LLVM bytecode and sells for $200 while requiring a Mac and Xcode. Demoed workflow uses rake, rake spec with MacBacon and guard for TDD but notes compile time overhead, editing live in simulator, and use of BubbleWrap and Formotion gems. Built examples include a Hello app with live text changes, a FizzBuzz counter with increment/decrement/reset and UI built from a .xib, and a form that works in simulator and device.
