Comment(by geetarista@…):

 ...and this is why I converted my app to Objective-C and gave up on
 Macruby. I even tried my old code on a recent release just to see and it
 still doesn't work. You say that it should just work with the default
 target, but it doesn't work. I had to scour blog articles to even get my
 app to archive a couple months ago, since there isn't any real
 documentation for MacRuby. Matt's book is the only thing decent out there,
 but it doesn't cover distributing at all. For one of my apps, I even had
 to manually copy files in the packaged application because headers didn't
 work, which is a ticket that has still never been updated. Several people
 have made it into the Mac App Store, but who knows how they got in there.
 Most likely they had to manually build their application or make
 modifications to it.

 Like I said before, it's sad that actually building and distributing an
 app is so painful and so low on priority. MacRuby will only be a novelty
 until that's turned around. I've seen many people with this same issue and
 it keeps coming up over and over again ever since release 0.5. I love
 Ruby, but dealing with MacRuby has been a huge waste of time, so I'm
 sticking with Objective-C.
