Build Failures with Downloaded Projects

So, after working through a few lessons in Intro to Objective C, in spite of build failures, I double checked my work against the downloaded project files and found even they fail to build, with the following error message:

error: -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

A specific example is the Inheritance lesson.

Currently using Xcode 4.6.2 .

try updating to the latest version of xcode (xcode 5.something). According to this, you can get this error if the project was built on a later version of xcode and then you try to build on an older version
