Gem for push notifications for Android and iOS - ruby-on-rails-3

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 getting error when generating shopify app

I'm getting an error when generating shopify app using rails. Screenshot is shown below:
Can anyone tell me what is going wrong?
You have probably added the shopify gem to the gems file.
all you need to do is to run
bundle install
so the app will install and use the new gem

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.

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.
