Does RubyMotion support integration of objective-c code?

Question

There are a ton of libraries/pieces of code that have already been built in Objective-C can RubyMotion use these bits without rewriting them in Ruby?

Answer 1

There are a couple ways to do this. One is by vendoring your 3rd party code into the vendor directory and then using the app.vendor_project method in your Rakefile. See Using 3rd Party Libraries for an example.

Another option is using Cocoapods. With the motion-cocoapods Ruby gem, you can add any of the libraries here using something like this:

app.pods do
  dependency 'JSONKit'
end
