iphone - Batch adding "-fno-objc-arc" flag to (multiple) source files

Question

After converting an Xcode project to ARC (Automatic Reference Counting), I need to disable ARC for some of my source files (mainly third-party code).

I know I need to set the "-fno-objc-arc" flag for each of these files, but Xcode doesn't give me a option for batch editing - I need to add this flag to each file manually, which may be tedious if you need to set it for multiple files.

Does anyone have a smart approach to this?

Answer 1

Select the ones you want to add the flag to (using Shift and/or Command) and press Enter to display the flag editor. Press Done to apply the entered flag(s) to the selected file(s).
