How to "build Turbolinks.framework" for ios?

Question

I haven't done any work building mobile apps with Rails, but I followed the very informative RailsConf demo from Sam Stephenson on Turbolinks 5 as a tool for building cross platform Apps with rails, Turbolinks 5 Demo and it looks great. The only part I can't replicate is how to get the "Turbolinks.framework" file that needs to be embedded in the iOS app shell.

The documentation at github's Turbolinks-ios page refers to a number of package managers for iOS (Carthage and CocoaPods) with which I am unfamiliar, or alternatively suggests "building Turbolinks manually and linking to my project." I think he demos the linking part, but no idea how to "build Turbolinks manually". Can someone give me a clue?

Answer 1

I have never done straight development like that. But I have done something different using Rails.

All you need is creating React-Native app web view implemented and pass url to rails pages (make sure rails app supports mobile responsive css). Including there you can benefit turbolinks events. It will save your precious time, and also, faster development!

Answer 2

Turned out to be very straightforward to install cocoapods and then use that to install Turbolinks-ios as mentioned on the git hub page.
