examples/MacRubySample/README

+This example uses MacRuby which needs Garbage Collection support. Since CocoaPods
+does not yet have a way to make a project build with GC support, you will have to
+do this manually in the generated Pods.xcodeproj project.
+
+You can find it in the build settings of the target app.
