Are you familiar with the ruby toolbox? It is a database of all available rubygems that you can search from. You can search for xmpp and it'll give you a lot of gems that might fit your needs.

Blather or Xmpp4r sound like good candidates.

  • I saw XMPP4r gem.. but couldn't find how to add mobile to send xmpp message in it. – Pankhuri Kaushik Aug 23 '14 at 17:58

    You probably need to read more about the protocol http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/ and try to interact with it with a very basic program before you jump into implementing it in production. You'll need an xmpp server such as http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/ and some client libraries to interact with it both on the rails side and on the mobile side. That's what my answer is about. – Marc Lainez Aug 23 '14 at 20:24
  • Is there are any other options to XMPP4r gem because still I don't see any updated gem for XMPP. – Deepak Shinde Jul 02 '16 at 06:49
