Just enough Turbo Native to be dangerous
summary
Claims that a Rails app can become downloadable iOS/Android apps using Turbo Native and Turbo iOS, built with Swift/Xcode and SwiftUI, and launched to stores in months by a single developer. Demo turns a Rails hiking journal into a working iOS app with ~33–50 lines of startup code, uses a Turbo session + visitable view controller, serves path-configuration JSON from the server to route native screens (e.g. map) and keeps uploads via Active Storage working through the webview. Shows stylesheet user-agent trick and previews Strada and Turbo Navigator.
