How can I disable ARC for a single file in a project?

I am using ARC successfully in my project. However, I have encountered a few files (e.g., in unit tests and mock objects) where the rules of ARC are a little more fragile right now. I recall hearing that there was a way to disable ARC on a per-file basis, though I have been unable to find this option.

Is this possible? How do I disable ARC on a per-file basis?

Disable ARC on MULTIPLE files:

  1. Select desired files at Target/Build Phases/Compile Sources in Xcode
  2. PRESS ENTER
  3. Type -fno-objc-arc
  4. Press Enter or Done
