Objective-C Automatic Reference Counting

Solar2D Native builds
#1

I’ve noticed that “Objective-C Automatic Reference Counting” is disabled in the the template project “App” that’s shipped with CoronaEnterprise. 

Is this a requirement for corona framework to work properly ? can I turn it on ? it fits other native plugins I’m using.

Anybody? Can I turn ARC on in corona enterprise ?

#3

I asked Engineering, but they have been rather busy.  I’ll ask again.

According to engineering, Corona is not using ARC, but internally it’s using Manual Reference Counting.  in theory you can turn on ARC on a file by file basis, but there could be subtle issues you should look for.
