iOS Cocoa-Touch Client: ARC errors when building with iOS 5.1 SDK

[vlad_x2]

Hi,

I get a lot of errors when trying to build an iOS 5 project in Xcode:

/src/ThriftGetUserVariablesResponse.m
/src/ThriftGetUserVariablesResponse.m:29:17: 'retain' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode
/src/ThriftGetUserVariablesResponse.m:29:17: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'retain'
/src/ThriftGetUserVariablesResponse.m:31:22: 'retain' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode
/src/ThriftGetUserVariablesResponse.m:31:22: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'retain'
/src/ThriftGetUserVariablesResponse.m:41:19: ARC forbids explicit message send of 'retain'
(and so on and so forth)

I noticed that Jiropole mentioned ARC settings here here, but I can't find them.
Help would be much appreciated

Have you read this article in the manual yet? I'm not sure whether it gives the information you need, but it would be a start.

I have done all the steps there with no luck, but I figured it out after all.
To build for iOS 5 with project-wide ARC enabled you have to add the compiler flag -fno-objc-arc to all the files not compatible with ARC.
To do that go to the project settings, build phases, compile sources and select all the incompatible files, press enter and add -fno-objc-arc in the box.

Thanks,
Vlad

Glad you got it figured out, and shared the info. I'll get it added to the manual for easy reference.
