String encryption in RubyMotion

Question

I'm trying to encrypt strings in RubyMotion - ideally AES but weaker/older cyphers such as Blowfish should do just fine.

So far I have failed at compiling a couple of pods: RNCrypto and CommonCrypto.

Suggestions? Anyone else tried these pods?

Thank you, Adrian

If you're having trouble compiling CocoaPods, make sure you run a rake clean. CocoaPods should work fine with RubyMotion as far as I know.

EDIT: Since the OP hasn't posted his solution as the answer, I'll post it here:

RNCryptor doesn't build for iOS6, and there's a pull for ARC compatibility but not yet integrated in the pod.

As for CommonCrypto, it has an example.m file showcasing its capabilities. This example.m includes a main function which clashes with the one created by RubyMotion. By deleting it, I've managed to make it compile successfully.
