ARC code can load manual RR code (and vice versa). This property is relied upon by the OS. The most important thing to cross compatibility is that both sides understand and follow the Cocoa memory management conventions (or annotated exceptions), as otherwise you can get over-retain and over-release bugs at the boundaries.
