Last I tried to bind to ObjC APIs through C you needed to use NSAutoReleasePool at some point, and to interact with the GC as the APIs expect. There was no option to use anything else. Has that changed?

ARC is built on top of the retain/release pool system, but it automates everything from the programmer's point of view so you almost never have to explicitly interact with it.

  This works across FFI? How?

    It doesn't. ARC is a compile-time operation (in Objective-C/Swift)– if you're not using clang or swiftc, then ARC isn't a thing.
