Ruby on Rails is a full-stack web framework with Hotwire for dynamic interfaces and conventions for authentication, forms and APIs; apps are deployed with tools such as Kamal or to platforms like Heroku. We wrap your published Ruby on Rails web app into real App Store and Google Play apps – no coding, delivered within 72 hours, full source code included.
Rails teams ship SaaS products and marketplaces quickly, and a WebView app lets them reach the App Store and Google Play just as quickly. Your deployed Rails app, including Turbo navigation and session-based login, runs unchanged inside native iOS and Android shells. The JavaScript bridge adds native features such as OneSignal push, AdMob, in-app purchases, sharing and QR scanning without a Swift or Kotlin rewrite.
Your app behaves like a full-screen browser for your Ruby on Rails web app: every change you publish on Ruby on Rails is live in the app immediately – no app update required. Native features such as push notifications, an offline screen, native dialogs and smart link handling are added on top.
See all featuresA real app icon on iPhone and Android devices, installed from the App Store and Google Play.
Re-engage users with OneSignal push messages – or trigger local notifications from your own JavaScript.
Instead of browser errors, users see a branded offline screen with a "Try again" button.
AdMob banners and interstitials, in-app purchases and native sharing dialogs are supported.
Make sure your web app is live on a public URL (ideally your own domain) and looks good on a phone screen – that URL is what we wrap.

We configure the WebViewGold template for your project, optimize it and deliver the full Xcode & Android Studio source code plus store-ready builds.
A few platform-specific tips from our App Specialists for the best result:
Built on WebViewGold. Every Ruby on Rails app we deliver is based on WebViewGold, the WebView app template for iOS & Android developed by our own team – battle-tested in the stores and continuously updated for the latest iOS and Android versions. Prefer to do it yourself? Get the template directly on webviewgold.com.
The same transparent pricing for every platform – Ruby on Rails included.
Prices are one-time fees in US dollars and exclude local taxes. 72-hour delivery, Monday to Friday, Terms and Conditions apply.
Yes. Session-based authentication works inside the app like in a mobile browser, so users stay signed in across launches. OmniAuth providers that restrict embedded browsers, notably Google, may need special handling, which we discuss during setup.
Yes. The app exposes a JavaScript bridge for OneSignal push notifications, AdMob ads, in-app purchases, sharing and QR scanning. Call it from Stimulus controllers or plain JavaScript when running inside the app, with browser fallbacks elsewhere.
Hotwire Native is a framework for building your own native shells and requires Swift and Kotlin work. Our service delivers finished Xcode and Android Studio projects, usually within 72 hours, wrapping your deployed URL with native features already configured. Which is better depends on your team and timeline.
Converting one platform (iOS or Android) is a one-time fee of $698; the iOS + Android bundle costs $1,158 (you save $238). The optional App Publishing Service is $318 per platform. Payment is handled securely by Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Prices exclude VAT.
The complete Xcode project (iOS) and/or Android Studio project including signed APK/AAB files and keystore (Android), plus a step-by-step quick start guide for the App Store and Google Play submission. The apps are built on the WebViewGold template, so you keep the full, editable source code.
Store approval depends on the content of your app, and most WebView apps based on a responsive, app-like website pass review. If Apple or Google rejects your app for non-content reasons, we offer a full refund of the setup fee when you claim it within 14 days after purchase – see our Terms and Conditions.
