Not sure if it does but look at this:

I'm assuming they have this for IOS development for iphone and ipad.

I have an Android phone so I can't speak authoritatively, but my 
understanding was that you couldn't distribute any application for 
iPhone/iPad which would interpret code.

However, there was recently an off-topic post here where someone said 
they had made a Scheme interpreter available through the App Store:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/1743573

Warning: since you have to pay them 99c to test their claim, it could 
just be a scam.

Otherwise, your best bet might be one of the experimental Ruby 
interpreters written in Javascript. Or you could try this:
http://bellard.org/jslinux/
http://bellard.org/jslinux/tech.html
I'd be interested to know how long it takes to boot on an iPad :-)

An Android pad wouldn't have this issue. "Rubuto" is full jRuby for 
Android, and is available for free from the Android marketplace.

Regards,

Brian.

Apple later changed that to "you can distribute an interpreter, as
long as it doesn't download code off the internet". Also the scheme
interepreter is legit; the guy is the main gambit developer, so at the
very least he's unlikely to be running an ipad app scam :)

You can distribute MacRuby apps via the Mac App store, but you cannot use it
for iOS applications, as iOS doesn't let the garbage collector run properly.

What you can do is run ruby inside jslinux. I am checking with the author to see if he'll let let legally. Otherwise I smell a clean room re implementation.

Hi, I'm not sure what you are trying to do. But have you heard about 
what these guys are doing?

strictly speaking the arm build of ruby 1.9.2 does compile and run on iOS.
The problem is getting access for uikit. Also, the app store seems to hate
freedom.
