TDDing iOS Apps for fun and profit with RubyMotion

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Claims that a full TDD workflow is practical for iOS using RubyMotion and its toolchain: create with the motion command, iterate with the motion console REPL, run specs with MacBacon/Bacon and RSpec, and compile App Store binaries. Demo builds a working to‑do app (about 34 commits in the repo) using MotionModel for local storage and Formotion for forms; tests run quickly, produce runnable simulator snapshots, and the app mostly works though live demo glitches occur.
