Ruby or Rails native Feed parser? - ruby-on-rails-3

require 'rss'
RSS::Parser.parse('http://www.ecoreboxing.com/feed/')
Is that all we get that's native? Is feedzirra still the defacto gem for parsing feeds? Any nokogiri fans out there? Seems that hpricot accepted defeat to nokogiri?
I've tried installing feedzirra... it worked for a while, but I keep getting curl / curb errors. meh. I'd like something a bit more... well, native. Can URI do anything with this? I feel like this is too simple of a task to not be... easier?

How to create react-native app for route like uber, with the use of HERE-MAP?

installed 'npm install react-native-heremaps --save'
This is for react-native init android, I tried some application using ios concept.
Error
Loading dependency graph, done. Error: Unable to resolve module ./index
Referrence:
Github ios sample
this question is a bit vague for SO, something that would require an entire course to answer. Currently it looks like you should learn how to do react-native android before attempting to add on top HERE. There are many great tutorials to get that started and working.
For the here portion you will have to use the Here-Maps-SDK. Since there isn't a react version of this SDK, you will need to link it using a react bridge.
It's not that easy of a process, and will take a decent amount of work to get right.
Here are some examples to help get started: https://hackernoon.com/react-native-bridge-for-ios-and-android-43feb9712fcb

Ruby soundcloud Gem : uninitialized constant SoundCloud (NameError)

I installed the SoundCloud ruby gem but when I tried running the example 'Print links of the 10 hottest tracks' on this page
https://github.com/soundcloud/soundcloud-ruby
I kept getting an error message "uninitialized constant SoundCloud (NameError)"
I did follow the instruction on the example, registered a client and got my client_id (not sure how to get the access token, which is not required in this example)
I followed the instruction on http://docs.rubygems.org/read/chapter/3 to add require 'soundcloud' to the example code but i still keep getting the same error message.
I am using OSX terminal.
sorry i'm new to ruby and soundcloud API so my question might be very entry level.
The README showed currently on GitHub doesn't match the version 0.3.1 of the gem that you have probably installed.
Changing SoundCloud to Soundcloud should fix your problems.
Please update to version 0.3.2. The README documents the latest interface.

Gem for push notifications for Android and iOS

I am working on a project in Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3 and I am looking for a gem to send push notifications to my iOS app and to my Android app.
I have found one for iOS jtv-apns gem but as I have asked in this question, I haven't been able to make it work and I haven't received any answers yet.
I have also found apn_on_rails but as the instructions are not for rails 3, I don't know if it is compatible.
For android, all I have found is c2dm_on_rails so far, but only works with ruby 1.8 and rails 2.
As suggested in this question, Urban ship is not an option for me right now. I would like to implement it myself or find a gem to help me do that.
Do you know any gem I can use for ruby 1.9 and rails 3 or a good tutorial I can follow?
I ended up using apn_on_rails the rails 3 branch. You can find a really good tutorial here
And for android I used speed_c2dm
Use Prowl iOS client and
prowler gem

If someone knows a better solution that is up2date please post as comment!

Rails 3 - paperclip with perloader

I use for upload my images Paperclip. I would like to ask you, if exist any gem or plugin for showing the preloader while the image is uploading (something like "56% loaded").
it doesn't have to do anything with paperclip actually.
I am using mootools, with mootools I am using FancyUpload which has lots of options and is very well written and easy to debug, rewrite, extend etc...
When you use this, you get an "Ajax" upload with a progress bar.
if you are using jQuery, there are many plugins for that as well.
it's very easy to integrate into the project.

rails-geocoder environmental problem in Rails 3 app

I'm working with Alex Reisner's geocoder gem on a Rails 3 app (3.0.3) because I'm concerned about GeoKit's shakey Rails 3 compatibility. Alex's gem looked perfect for my application so I started using it and had it working flawlessly last night on my Macbook. I pushed the app to Github when I got it running.
Today, I did a git clone of the app on a desktop Mac. Same version of Ruby, Rails and identical source and Gemfile. This time geocoder is throwing this exception:
NameError (uninitialized constant Geocoder::Net):
app/controllers/restaurants_controller.rb:16:in `create'
My models use after_validation :fetch_coordinates to geocode the model upon save.
Has anyone noticed any other dependencies outside the bundle that could cause this? I like the way Alex put this one together but may give geokit-rails3 a try even though it's an unfinished port.
I just released gem version 0.9.7 which should solve this problem.
