I'm using PhoneGap and have two different plug-ins installed. Plug-in A assumes ARC is active, and Plug-in B does its own memory management.

Since I don't know enough Objective-C to tinker with Plug-in A and make it manage memory itself, the only option I see is to go into Plug-in B and rip out all of the 'autorelease' and 'dealloc' calls, as suggested by Jezen in error 'autorelease' is unavailable: not available in automatic reference counting mode.

Is there a better option, however? Can I just have XCode ignore the autorelease and dealloc calls, so I don't have to rip them out of the plug-in? I'm afraid once I'm finishing ripping up this plug-in, I'll find there are others with the same issue.

Xcode will convert the code to ARC for you. 

Edit->Refactor->Convert to Objective C ARC...

You can preview the changes and Xcode is pretty good about suggestion for fixes, if you have to do any manual changes.
