Is there an easy way to convert an Objective-C 2.0 file to Objective-C 1? I am writing a Cocoa app, and I decided to support Tiger, which doesn't support Obj. C 2.0. I know I should have thought of it before I wrote a whole bunch of code, but is there an easy way to convert it back? Thanks!

A:
- If you are using Garbage Collection, you'll need to undo that.
- Remove all property usage (writing your own accessors where needed)
- If you are iterating through collections via
for(object in collection)you'll need to redo.

Thanks! I'm not using GC, so that's taken care of. I use plenty of properties, though. Is there a script or tool that will let me convert it?

I would search through Xcode plugins. But I have a feeling this is not a popular request. I've seen somethings that create properties, but not any that remove them.

Write yourself a script, it's quite simple.

Here's a Objective-C 1.0 foreach macro that can make converting the for(id obj in collection) loops a lot easier. Using it, you can say: foreach(id,obj,collection){…}. I used it for a couple of years before fast enumeration, and it worked great.
