Setting the contents of a CALayer to a CGImageRef on iOS with ARC on

Question

The following code compiles fine with manual memory management, but fails under ARC:

CALayer *layer = [CALayer layer];
layer.contents = [[UIImage imageNamed:@\"d         


        

Answer 1

Just cast the result of -CGImage to a id, as it is complaining about implicit conversions...

layer.contents = (id) [[UIImage imageNamed:@"dial.png"] CGImage];
