RubyMotion is an IDE of the Ruby programming language that supports iOS, OS X and Android. RubyMotion is a commercial product created by Laurent Sansonetti for HipByte[http://www.rubymotion.com/about/ RubyMotion - About]. RubyMotion.com. Retrieved 2012-06-16. and is based on MacRuby for OS X. RubyMotion adapted and extended MacRuby to work on platforms beyond OS X.

RubyMotion apps execute in an iOS simulator alongside a read-eval-print loop (REPL) for interactive inspection and modification. 3rd-party Objective-C libraries can be included in a RubyMotion project, either manually or by using a package manager such as CocoaPods. Programs are statically compiled into machine code by use of Rake as its build and execution tool.[https://arstechnica.com/business/2012/05/exclusive-building-ruby-ios-applications-with-rubymotion/ Exclusive: building native iOS apps with RubyMotion].

RubyMotion projects can be developed with any text editor. The RubyMine IDE provides support for the RubyMotion toolchain, such as code-completion and visual debugging.[https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/RUBYDEV/Getting+Started+with+RubyMotion Getting Started with RubyMotion]. jetbrains.com.
