rails method signature conflict

[arches]

This gem defines Object#try with a single arg:

https://github.com/urbanairship/ruby-library/blob/master/lib/ext/object.rb#L2

Rails defines Object#try with varying args and a block:

https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/3e36db4406beea32772b1db1e9a16cc1e8aea14c/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/object/try.rb#L5

So my rails app won't start with this gem installed. Can't repro on a new rails app so my personal conflict is probably with another gem I'm using. I can add my Gemfile if anyone cares.

Please do, thanks! It should help with troubleshooting.

What's the rationale to monkeypatch these low level methods like Object#try and Hash#compact? Can they be removed altogether?

sorry it's kind of a mess...

it says urbanairship v2.4. I have a branch with gem 'urbanairship', '~> 3.0' which is what's causing my try problems. Also had to fork unirest-ruby because it pinned rest-client to a patch version. https://github.com/Mashape/unirest-ruby/pull/22 haha I missed it before, there's another PR from january to unpin it also.

@arches & @pdxmele, I proposed a fix for this in #81.

@arches, would you be able to confirm the fix works by adding this in your Gemfile?

gem 'urbanairship', github: 'generalassembly/ruby-library', branch: 'safe-monkeypatch'

[jkvoorhis]

@bswinnerton @arches we have put out a new release that should resolve these issues. Please update to the newest version of our gem (3.0.2), and let us know if issues arise again.
