Feature Request: <Ruby for Fastlane>

[Dtthatcher]

For our official CircleCI Docker Convenience Image support policy, please see CircleCI docs.

This policy outlines the release, update, and deprecation policy for CircleCI Docker Convenience Images.

Describe the Feature Request

Our org uses Fastlane which requires Ruby. This helps to keep our CI very similar between iOS and Android. The Ruby install step using a CCI Ruby Orb usually takes about 3 min on android:2023.06.1 with xlarge image size and needs to be repeated in a lot of the jobs in our workflow.

So I would like to request an image with Ruby installed (V 2.7 is the standard) or all images have this installed.

Is your feature request related to a particular problem? See above

How will this feature request benefit CircleCI jobs using this image? Large reduction in time when switching jobs.

In order for us to add a tool within the image, it has to be something that is maintained and useful to a majority of CircleCI users. Every tool added makes the image larger and slower for all users, so any new additions need to be carefully thought out.

Describe the solution you would like to see Either a single image with the Ruby with a quarterly update to keep up to speed with other releases, or adding Ruby to all future images.

Describe alternatives you have considered Forking the repo and adding myself, but figured an official request would be better to support everyone who uses Fastlane

@Dtthatcher This is a feature that I will add for the August release of this image. The machine image has ruby installed in the mean time.
