How to convert ARC project to Non-ARC?

As per my knowledge, I know that we use -fno-objc-arc flag to disable ARC for files that NOT support ARC in an ARC project.

And also we can use -fobjc-arc flag to enable ARC for files support ARC in a Non-ARC project.

But if I want to convert my ARC project(not particular file) to Non-ARC project, then how should I go ahead for the same?

Anyone please brief me about the same.

Thanks in Advance.

You have to insert manual memory management method calls in the appropriate places. In general, every new, alloc, retain, copy and mutableCopy call shall be balanced by a release or an autorelease (the latter is mainly used in the case of return values), so, for example, the following ARC-enabled code:

MyClass *myObj = [[MyClass alloc] init];
[myObj doStuff];

OtherClass *otherObj = [[OtherClass alloc] init];
return otherObj;

should be something like this under MRC:

MyClass *myObj = [[MyClass alloc] init];
[myObj doStuff];
[myObj release];

OtherClass *otherObj = [[OtherClass alloc] init];
return [otherObj autorelease];

More about memory management in the official documentation.
