I'm just making some research about Swift development frameworks, I'm quite newbie in mobile development and specially iOS development.
I just want to know for example "the Ruby on Rails of Swift" xD (I know its a stupid comparison but it's just what comes to my mind right now lol)

Courses Plus Student 13,560 PointsHey Sebastian,
as of now swift is quite new so no there isn't a swift on rails and I don't think there are will. the reason being is that it simply doesn't need a major framework like that, what swift and objective-c had were lots of frameworks there for when you needed them (and by far the most popular was AFNetworking because it made life so much easier), so if I wanted a cool nav bar I'd go to cocoa controls to find a cool one and then use it in my project, not so much find some framework that changes how I write my code (and if it changes how you write it, it does it to make it easier). and even if there was a framework that every one used, apple would probable come out with there own version (examples: for cocoas2D we got sprite kit, AFNetworking we got a lot of new networking tools).
anyways if you want the big one for swift and objective-c it's AFNetworking but there in nothing as big as ruby on rails.
hope this helps, Kai
