Summary

Couchbase Lite, which has moved beyond its beta phase and received numerous updates for cross-platform reliability, can now be fully utilized in RubyMotion projects with complete Ruby support. Originally, using Couchbase Lite with RubyMotion posed challenges, such as issues with lambda handling, which have since been resolved. The integration process involves adding Couchbase Lite via Cocoapods, a package manager that works seamlessly with RubyMotion, and ensuring the RubyMotion environment can locate the necessary header files. The configuration process includes specifying build dependencies in a gemfile and the Rakefile, enabling the use of Couchbase Lite like any other Objective-C library within RubyMotion. Developers can define views and queries using Couchbase Lite in RubyMotion, and further details are available in a sample project on GitHub.
