How to enable Objective-C exceptions on Xcode 4.2?

Question

maybe I'm being daft or something but I've added a @try @catch block to my code and I'm getting a "cannot use @try with object-c exceptions disabled" error that prevents compilation...

How do I turn it on? I've searched all around, added the exception breakpoint thing and no results...How do I do this?

If you are using @catch to recover from exceptions, you are doing it wrong. Exceptions are not to be used for anything but unrecoverable errors. – Zwickau

Check if you have enabled exceptions on the project and/or target build settings. Project Navigator -> select project or target -> build settings -> Enable Objective-C Exceptions
