ARC forbids explicit message send 'retain'

Question

I am building ios app when I encountered a problem. It says ARC forbids explicit message send 'retain'. Here is my code that give me error.

    filePath= [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]] retain];

What should I do here? My ARC is turn on and I want it to stay on so what will I do.

And also downvoted because there are multiple links in the related questions that already answer this. — borrrden, Oct 22 '13 at 10:25

Just remove retain and compiler will ensure that memory management is correct automatically:

filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];

filePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", 
           [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath]];
