Review on RubyMotion by Michael Rosario

RoboVM delivers most modern features in fastest time possible

The ability to use native code is very compelling when compared with other options like PhoneGap or React Native (which require writing all of your UI components from scratch). Also being able write full fledged applications that run across multiple platforms including WebViews without having extra dependencies makes it an ideal fit if you want something fast paced while also maintaining performance standards throughout its lifecycle. There are some quirks related to compiling which could be improved upon but overall I find their support team more than helpful as well! We needed better solutions at hand quickly; we were considering alternatives such as Cordova/Phonegap before deciding to go along this path because they offer what we need faster than others out there do so far and at no additional cost unlike competitors who charge much higher fees upfront just for starters.

Pros
  • It’s easy enough even beginners can get started.
  • Great community
  • Compiling issues fixed relatively swiftly after contacting them about our problems, especially in regards compilation errors during application startup due mostly likely caused by missing assets files etc.
  • Easy integration into existing projects via plugins available through CocoPodium
