[MacRuby-devel] [ANN] TrackerBot 1.0 in App Store -- tested with MacRuby!

[Christian Niles]

Hey All,

One of the reasons I've gotten so in love with MacRuby is that it's let me BDD my Cocoa projects, in particular an app I just released to the App Store, called TrackerBot [1]. TrackerBot is an iPad and iPhone interface to Pivotal Tracker, the well-known agile project management tool [2].

While I can't run my MacRuby/RSpec2 specs on the actual device, I've ben able to move a majority of my code into an iPhone compatible framework that I do test with MacRuby. I'm beginning to use Frank for UI automation tests on the device and am developing a gem that tries to make all the XCode configuration and setup painless for new users who want to get started with MacRuby/XCode/Cocoa development.

So, in addition to the release announcement, I just wanted to thank you all for making it possible to use all the Ruby BDD tools I love with Cocoa. It has made me far more productive, and the development far less frustrating.

Thanks!
christian.
