The very first, at least that we are aware of, AtomVM with Popcorn application for iOS is available in the App Store:
I’m sure the author would appreciate some positive reviews, and so would we. It would be great if we could give this game a boost and bring the AtomVM and Popcorn dynamic-duo to the attention of other app developers.
Would be cool if someone writes a tutorial on how to create an iOS app with Popcorn/AtomVM (I made a macOS app with MacRuby once - it was fun - would be interested in making an iOS one one day!)
I completely agree! A tutorial would be fantastic. I don’t own a Mac at the moment, otherwise I’d be studying the repo and working on a hello world tutorial. I’ll have to poke the Mac guys and see if one of them is willing to write something up.
Thanks for the shout-out It’s important to mention that the app seems to use Popcorn via WebView, so it basically runs a browser inside the app and runs the Popcorn-based app in there. So while it’s impressive and technically enables creating mobile apps with the BEAM langs, true native apps using native components are yet to be made possible
Works great on my iPhone 14. No lag, no crashes. For a first release using this stack, it’s solid. Left a review. Would love to see more apps built this way. The cross-platform potential is huge.
I am quite impressed! The app runs quite smoothly, looks nice, is quite small, and didn’t seem to consume a lot of RAM. I know it’s a simple one, but still, I’m very impressed.
I’m definitely interested to read more about this nice piece of work!
