Problem
After converting an Xcode project to ARC (Automatic Reference Counting), I need to disable ARC for some of my source files (mainly third-party code). I know I need to set the "-fno-objc-arc" flag for each of these files, but Xcode doesn't give me a option for batch editing - I need to add this flag to each file manually, which may be tedious if you need to set it for multiple files. Does anyone have a smart approach to this?
