Is CocoaAsyncSocket ported to iOS5 (ARC)? about cocoaasyncsocket

[mindrones]

Hi,

I've solved this one adding -fno-objc-arc to the compile options for this lib files, as found here
http://groups.google.com/group/cocoaasyncsocket/browse_thread/thread/a204682691826d7e
(thank goes to Sean McBride)

It might be useful to note this in the wiki maybe :)

mindrones: How do you add that option (-fno-objc-arc) to just a few files? (I'm assuming you just drag in GCDAsycnSocket.h/m to your source tree, right?)

I can't see any place for per-file settings, but then I'm new to Xcode.

Ah, found it.

• Select project and in project navigator
• Select target
• Select build phases
• Click compile sources
• Double-click on GCD...
  • in the box, add in the compiler flag.

Also, you need to add the Security Framework for the lib to compile. I've not seen that mentioned anywhere, either. A "how to install" Wiki page might be a fine addition.

Yes that's exactly what I did.
Agree it would be useful to add to the wiki :)

Do you use the original files together with the -fno-objc-arc option or your modified files?
Can you tell me how this relates to the "arc" branch
https://github.com/robbiehanson/CocoaAsyncSocket/tree/arc
which is visible when you click on the branch:Master icon on https://github.com/robbiehanson/CocoaAsyncSocket#
?

Hi, after I have tried modifying the files to remove the release/retain stuff with no success, I've tried to use the original files with the -fno-objc-arc option and it worked out of the box.

You can use non-arc files in an ARC project, and vice-versa.

The CocoaAsyncSocket project will soon be converted to ARC, as it is quickly becoming the standard.
