title: Parsing string to time in RubyMotion
body: <p>I try to parse a text representation of a time into a ruby Time object.</p>
  
  <p>Normally in ruby I would do it like this:
  </p>
  
  <pre><code>require 'time'
  Time.parse('2010-12-15T13:16:45Z')
  # =&gt; 2010-12-15 13:16:45 UTC
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In RubyMotion I am unable to require libs and Time.parse is not available:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(main)&gt; require 'time'
  =&gt; #&lt;RuntimeError: #require is not supported in RubyMotion&gt;
  (main)&gt;
  (main)&gt; Time.parse
  =&gt; #&lt;NoMethodError: undefined method `parse' for Time:Class&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to require the time library provided by ruby without having to copy and rewrite the whole code to make it compatible with RubyMotion?</p>
