About:
RubyMotion is a commercial development toolchain that enables developers to build native iOS, Android, and macOS applications using the Ruby programming language.

The tool includes an interactive REPL and testing framework to streamline the development workflow.

Key Features:

Write native iOS, Android, and macOS apps in Ruby
Full access to native platform APIs
Interactive REPL for rapid development
Integrated testing framework
Compiles to native ARM binaries

Use Cases:

Building cross-platform mobile apps with Ruby expertise
Rapid prototyping of native applications
Enterprise app development leveraging existing Ruby codebases

Alternatives:

React Native – Uses JavaScript/TypeScript instead of Ruby, larger community
Flutter – Uses Dart, provides custom UI rendering, free and open source
Xamarin – Uses C#, integrates with .NET ecosystem, Microsoft-backed
