Expected Identifier and ARC

Question

I am using Björn Sållarp's excellent Forward Geocoder, to be found at http://blog.sallarp.com/ipad-iphone-forward-geocoding-api-google/

However, I had to get rid of the "autorelease" in the code, since ARC does not support it. Now I have an "Expected Identifier" problem. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Here is original and the affected code:

ORIGINAL:

return [(NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFStringRef)string, NULL, (CFStringRef)kBSGeocodingLegalCharactersToBeEscaped, kCFStringEncodingUTF8) autorelease];

MY VERSION:

return [(NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFStringRef)string, NULL, (CFStringRef)kGeocodingLegalCharactersToBeEscaped, kCFStringEncodingUTF8))];

Btw, Xcode suggested to add the "CFBridgingRelease" to the original code.

You can just ignore arc on this file. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6646052/how-can-i-disable-arc-for-a-single-file-in-a-project — Mike Z, Sep 01 '13 at 23:10

loose the outer brackets:

return (NSString*)CFBridgingRelease(CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault, (CFStringRef)string, NULL, (CFStringRef)kGeocodingLegalCharactersToBeEscaped, kCFStringEncodingUTF8));

return (__bridge_transfer NSString *)CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault, (__bridge CFStringRef)string, NULL, (__bridge CFStringRef)kGeocodingLegalCharactersToBeEscaped, kCFStringEncodingUTF8);

Go to Build Phases find the classe and in Compiler Flgas input: -fno-objc-arc clear the project and finished
