Build Error on "From Structs to Objects"

I opened the correct file and did exactly as the video instructed. The build keeps failing and I see no obvious faults.

The error reads "-fobjc-arc is not supported on platforms using the legacy runtime

Command /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang failed with exit code 1"

Please help me!

Elliot,

What version of Xcode are you running? It is trying to run ARC (Automatic Reference Counting) which I believe that track does not use.

You can verify if it is trying to use ARC by the following: Click on you project, in the left hand organizer. Select your target, in the next column over. Select the Build Settings tab at the top. Scroll down to "Objective-C Automatic Reference Counting" (it may be listed as "CLANG_ENABLE_OBJC_ARC" under the User-Defined settings group), and set it to NO.

Ah yes i just had an older version of Xcode! Thank you very much!
