Garbage Collection and ARC are features of the Apple Objective-C compilers used to make a number of memory management operations simpler for software developers. LiveCode does its own memory management and uses neither of these technologies. >From my reading of the announcement, it appears that support for the Garbage Collection technology is being removed rather than ARC being mandatory. So, to answer your question, it doesn't look like it should impact LiveCode at all. The one place it may have an effect is if a third-party extension uses these technologies.
