I think this is actually a bigger deal from a developers perspective than most of the other announcements. Since it's a compiler feature, does anyone know if it's compatible with older os releases?
Once you're familiar with the manual memory management conventions, it's not difficult, but this should make iOS development more approachable.
- schrototo 15y ago"ARC is supported in Xcode 4.2 for Mac OS X v10.6 and v10.7 (64-bit applications) and for iOS 4 and iOS 5. (Weak references are not supported in Mac OS X v10.6 and iOS 4)." But how about looking at the docs yourself?
- jcnnghm 15y agoAren't they behind a password/NDA wall? Perhaps I didn't see that information when I was looking at it?
- schrototo 15y agoI'm sorry, I didn't mean to be snarky. (Although if you're not a member of the dev program, I don't see why you care about this information?)
- prodigal_erik 15y agoAny new platform that isn't ultradoomed is interesting. I might have been waiting for iOS development to become less brittle before getting involved (that is, if their policies towards developers and users weren't so repellent).
