I am converting my iOS project to ARC (about time, right?), but I’m running into a few issues with the Convert to Objective-C ARC tool.

I have gone through my entire project and removed any ARC-illegal calls (i.e., release, autorelease, retain, etc.). However, there are several files – all third party files – which I don’t want to update to ARC. In my target build phases, I have added the flag -fno-objc-arc to each of these files, but when I run the Convert to Objective-C ARC tool, it continues to tell me that I need to update these files.

Is it possible to use the Convert to Objective-C ARC tool while still keeping specific files as non-ARC?

If not, is there a manual way to convert a project to ARC?
