IPhone 4 iOS5 Core Plot and ARC error:“The current deployment target does not support weak references”?

Weak references only work on iOS 5 and above. If you have the deployment target set to anything earlier, then you'll get the error. Basically, if you want to deploy to earlier devices you can't use automated weak references.

The substitute would be unsafe_unretained.

Thank you, changing the deployment target to 5.0 worked! – Alex Stone Oct 14 '11 at 0:42.

While Inspire48's answer broadly covers the fact that __weak references are not supported in versions of iOS earlier than 5.0, this particular problem was due to Core Plot's headers not being made completely ARC compatible. This was fixed in the Mercurial repository a few months ago, so if you want to use Core Plot within an ARC-enabled project, you need to grab the latest code from the repository. The 0.9 snapshot does not interact well with ARC because of items like this in its headers.

The Core Plot framework code in the repository also supports targeting back to iOS 4.0 and Snow Leopard with ARC enabled in your application (I believe 3.0 and Leopard without ARC, as well), so you don't need to target 5.0 to use ARC with Core Plot.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
