Let's build a mobile app
summary
Claims that Hotwire Native lets a Rails app reuse the same HTML/CSS as a thin native shell, keeping business logic on the server and avoiding duplicate APIs; demo shows adding the Swift package, creating a navigator with a root URL and instantly rendering localhost content in a native chrome. Examples include Apple Health, Bluetooth, document scanning, push tokens and maps; reported numbers: 25 apps shipped, StoryGraph at 4 million users, and a 92% mobile-time stat. Hotwire Native delivers features by updating Rails (no App Store resubmit for most changes) and supports bridge components for native SDK access.
