Why is the sample app in the SDK not using ARC? Its been the standard approach for memory management in ObjC for close to a decade.
Hi @stallent, thanks for the post.
We understand that there are some practices in our sample apps which do not reflect the most up-to-date practices in Mac development (most notably, the lack of Swift). This is something we are working towards improving in the future, but do not have a set timeline on when these updates will occur.
These practices are not indicative of any restrictions on how the SDK can/should be used in your own implementation. 
Thanks!
Lol. People still use ObjC so i can partially understand the lack of swift. No one avoids using ARC in their ObjC so that one is a bit harder to understand.
