ARC struggle in AFNetworking

Question

I'm using AFNetworking in my app. After I have imported the files and build the app I get like 90 errors, complaining on the ARC mode.

ARC forbids explicit message send of 'autorelease'

I've tried to go to Edit -> Refractor -> Convert to Objective-C ARC

But then I got:

Cannot Convert to Objective-C ARC

Xcode found 93 issues that prevent conversion from proceeding.  Fix all ARC readiness issues and try again.

I don't get this...

The latest version of AFNetworking is built using ARC. What version did you install? — Joel, Nov 14 '13 at 22:19

Don't attempt to migrate AFNetworking to ARC by yourself, either change to a newer version (which uses ARC) or disable ARC for the AFNetworking files. Better still use Cocoapod to manage your dependencies and forget about ARC mismatch problems.

Here's a [link](https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking/wiki/Getting-Started-with-AFNetworking) to getting set up with AFNetworking in Cocoapods. Using Cocoapods is a highly recommended approach to managing dependencies in your project. – JaredH Dec 15 '13 at 22:03

Make sure you download AFNetworking 2.0.

Ok, so I've downloaded 2.0. It seems like I have to change some things. I get the error: Use of undeclared identifier 'AFJSONRequestOperation' on: AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) { – tracifycray Nov 14 '13 at 22:49
Look through the api and rewrite your methods. You probably copied those from some forum using afnetworking 1.0. – William Falcon Nov 15 '13 at 00:04

In the Project Settings, under Build Phases, Compile Sources, select the AFNetworking files and add -fno-objc-arc as the compiler flag. This disables arc for those files.

I definitely agree though. Use Cocoapods or get AFNetworking 2.0 or 1.x with ARC
