Create apps that utilize iOS device capabilities without learning Objective-C Overview Get your iOS apps ready faster with RubyMotion Use iOS device capabilities such as GPS, camera, multitouch, and many more in your apps Learn how to test your apps and launch them on the AppStore Use Xcode with RubyMotion and extend your RubyMotion apps with Gems Full of practical examples In Detail RubyMotion is a revolutionary toolchain for iOS app development. With RubyMotion, you can quickly develop and test native iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad, combining the expressiveness and simplicity of Ruby with the power of the iOS SDK. "RubyMotion iOS Development Essentials" is a hands-on guide for developing iOS apps using RubyMotion. With RubyMotion, you can eliminate the complexity and confusion associated with the development of iOS applications using Objective-C. Well begin from scratch. Starting by installing RubyMotion, well build ourselves up to developing an app that uses the various device capabilities iOS has to offer. Whats more, well even learn how to launch your app on the App Store! Well also learn to use iOS SDK classes to create application views. Discover how to use the camera, geolocation, gestures, and other device capabilities to create engaging, interactive apps. Well develop stunning user interfaces faster with the XCode interface builder and make web apps by using WebView. Well then augment applications with RubyMotion gems, doing more by writing less code and learn how to write test cases for RubyMotion projects. Finally, well understand the app submission process to push your app to Apples App Store With "RubyMotion iOS Development Essentials", we will learn how to create iOS apps with ease. At the end of each chapter we will have a tangible and running app, which utilizes the concepts we have learnt in that chapter. What you will learn from this book Install RubyMotion and get a feel for the toolchain Understand the evolution of Rubymotion from Objective-C : compare RubyMotion syntax with the corresponding Objective-C syntax Work with the XCode interface builder and design stunning user interfaces with RubyMotion Augment applications with gems: Use and create gems for RubyMotion Use device capabilities including the camera, geolocation, gestures and address book in your apps Show your web apps right from your iPhone window with WebView Learn to store data offline with Core Data Get your apps ready for the App Store! Approach This is a step-by-step book that builds on your knowledge by adding to an example app over the course of each chapter.
