RestKit and iOS5 and ARC

[bmctigue]

Hi All,

I couldn't find a reference to this. I am building a new app that's iOS5 dependent and I really want to use ARC as soon as possible. What's the plan for RestKit? When should I be able to convert to ARC?

Thanks!

Bruce

We're planning on ARC for a 0.9.6 release.

I believe you should still be able to build your app using ARC and link against RestKit without the library itself moving to ARC internally. I have been building my RKTableView example app as an iOS 5 project with ARC and linking against RestKit with no issues -- you just don't retain/release your instances.

As Greg mentioned, we're planning to migrate the entire library to ARC in 0.9.6

Hi guys,

Just wanted to see if RestKit has been converted to support ARC. 

The SBJson (https://github.com/stig/json-framework) library supports ARC -- so does it mean that if I use RestKit + SBJson library (https://github.com/RestKit/RKJSONParserSBJSON) then I would get the benefits of the ARC enabled SBJson from within Reskit?

Also, does Reskit manage requests in a multithreaded way?

Thanks,

-Anil

I don't know if it has been converted but you can easily use it in an ARC project just by using the -fno-objc-arc flag on all of the RestKit project in your xcode project.
