Looks like I can view the package contents of your Twitter example app and see all the source. This may not be desirable for people trying to write a cross-platform app which they can also sell. Any way to close-source the final product?


Yes, I've ported it to Ruby 1.9 When this is complete, you'll be able to byte compile all your Ruby code (and obscure all the JavaScript).


This is one reason I prefer to build cross-platform Ruby desktop apps with JRuby (and Jimpanzee + Swing). I get complied code, which happens to be insanely obfuscated.

(And I get to use the bazillion Java libs, too.)
