In rails 3, there is no config.gem... Open up your Gemfile:

gem 'apple_push_notification', :git => 'http://gemcutter.org/path_to_that_gem_on_gem_cutter.git'

Answer 2

I had the same problem, I had used a rails3 branch

gem 'apn_on_rails', :git => 'https://github.com/natescherer/apn_on_rails.git', :branch => 'rails3'

Answer 3

I've written an apn_on_rails replacement called Rpush specifically targeted at Rails 3. I've also added a bunch of extra features like persistent connections to the APNs (as recommended by Apple). Frequent connects/disconnects may get you banned from the APNs, which is how apn_on_rails currently works.
