Closing as a duplicate of #267.

This is a different issue. The current behaviour was done to support old deployment targets ('4.0') if I recall correctly. @alloy can we switch this behaviour?

^ this change would be super useful, as it's the main reason for the warning above this title: http://guides.cocoapods.org/making/using-pod-lib-create#adding-travis-ci

@irrationalfab I don’t understand, I think you’re confused with treating dispatch types as objects. Afaik this is indeed a duplicate of #267.

@alloy that was about only changing the default value of the requires_arc build setting if not specified. Regardless of that default value this logic could have been changed also before but I always avoided to touch it because I remember that you did significant work related to this in past related to the CocoaPods setup breaking for some deployment targets.

@fabiopelosin I'm not understanding your argument that this isn't a duplicate.

@segiddins One thing is to change the default value if the build setting is not specified in the Podspec (true or false) and this has already been done.

The other is to change how the target is configured: either ARC enabled and some files are excluded or ARC disabled and some files are included. Currently the latter approach is in use. I think that it was picked because there was an issue with Xcode 4... so we should attempt to change it.

👍

Ah yes, agreed.
