Enabling in ARC in xamarin

automatic-ref-counting, c#, manual-retain-release, xamarin, xamarin.ios

Solution

Add the following to the Additional mtouch arguments text field within the Xamarin.iOS project properties window:

-gcc_flags "-fobjc-arc"

Problem

Most of the security and penetration tools report if the ARC is not enabled. ``` fobjc-arc flag is not Found ``` As far as I know we can't do this in xamarin because we don't have build settings here. This flag can be set in build settings only. Even if we could , it won't work because xamarin uses C# and MRC to manage memory by itself. Can anybody explain me how it can be done or not done or my understanding is wrong Edit: We can turn on ARC to a full project by build settings ``` CLANG_ENABLE_OBJC_ARC=YES ``` But there is no way to do this in xam studio ... setting the value in mtouch also throws error
