How can Ruby on Rails collaborate with iOS, Android, and JavaScript Libraries?

Ruby on Rails is a great choice for the backend of applications, while other technologies handle the frontend. We use it alongside native technologies to develop applications for iOS and Android, as well as with other JavaScript libraries to build multiplatform applications. In our Ruby on Rails consulting services, we describe the technology implementation for a specific business case. But in general, see 4 examples below:

Example 1: Ruby on Rails with iOS

RoR can be integrated with iOS applications for backend services. Using Ruby on Rails as an API backend, iOS apps can handle tasks like user authentication, data storage, and business logic.

Ruby on Rails with iOS

Example 2: Ruby on Rails with Android

Similar to iOS, Android applications can use Ruby on Rails for their backend infrastructure. Ruby on Rails can manage database interactions, user sessions, and other server-side functionalities for Android apps. The Android app and the RoR backend communication is typically done via APIs.

Ruby on Rails with Android

Example 3: Ruby on Rails with React

React, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, is often used with RoR for creating dynamic and responsive front-ends. Ruby on Rails can serve as the backend, managing data and business logic, while React handles the frontend, creating a seamless and interactive user experience. This combination is particularly powerful for single-page applications (SPAs).

Ruby on Rails with React

Example 4: Ruby on Rails with Flutter

Flutter is an open-source UI software development kit created by Google. It is used to build natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. When combined with Ruby on Rails, Flutter can serve as the front end for both iOS and Android apps, while Rails provides a robust backend.

Ruby on Rails with Flutter

The system has produced a significant competitive advantage in the industry thanks to SumatoSoft’s well-thought opinions.

They shouldered the burden of constantly updating a project management tool with a high level of detail and were committed to producing the best possible solution.

I was impressed by SumatoSoft’s prices, especially for the project I wanted to do and in comparison to the quotes I received from a lot of other companies.

Also, their communication skills were great; it never felt like a long-distance project. It felt like SumatoSoft was working next door because their project manager was always keeping me updated. Initially.

We tried another company that one of our partners had used but they didn’t work out. I feel that SumatoSoft does a better investigation of what we’re asking for. They tell us how they plan to do a task and ask if that works for us. We chose them because their method worked with us.

SumatoSoft is great in every regard including costs, professionalism, transparency, and willingness to guide. I think they were great advisors early on when we weren’t ready with a fully fleshed idea that could go to market.

They know the business and startup scene as well globally.

SumatoSoft is the firm to work with if you want to keep up to high standards. The professional workflows they stick to result in exceptional quality.

Important, they help you think with the business logic of your application and they don’t blindly follow what you are saying. Which is super important. Overall, great skills, good communication, and happy with the results so far.

Together with the team, we have turned the MVP version of the service into a modern full-featured platform for online marketers. We are very satisfied with the work the SumatoSoft team has performed, and we would like to highlight the high level of technical expertise, coherence and efficiency of communication and flexibility in work.

We can say with confidence that SumatoSoft has realized all our ideas into practice.

The Rivalfox had the pleasure to work with SumatoSoft in building out core portions of our product, and the results really couldn’t have been better.

SumatoSoft provided us with engineering expertise, enthusiasm and great people that were focused on creating quality features quickly.

SumatoSoft succeeded in building a more manageable solution that is much easier to maintain.

Thanks to SumatoSoft can-do attitude, amazing work ethic and willingness to tackle client’s problems as their own, they’ve become an integral part of our team. We’ve been truly impressed with their professionalism and performance and continue to work with a team on developing new applications.

We are completely satisfied with the results of our cooperation and will be happy to recommend SumatoSoft as a reliable and competent partner for development of web-based solutions

Pricing models we follow

Cost icon

Fixed price

The Fixed Price model involves a predefined contract sum, paid in installments. The benefit of this model is high predictability, as developers commit to delivering a specific scope within a fixed budget. However, this model is inflexible since both the scope and budget are fixed.

Time icon

Time & Material

The Time & Material model is a flexible approach to cooperation where the billing is based on actual development efforts (person-hours worked). It’s ideal for projects with unclear scores, evolving requirements, or a huge system with many uncertainties. This model is ideal for long-term projects.

Teams icon

Dedicated Team

Our RoR developer specialists, adept at addressing US business requirements, integrate seamlessly into your team. Billing is based on hourly rates, reflecting the value we bring to North American businesses with our dedicated team model.
