Well Something like this is standard :
- (id)init { if (!(self = [super init])) return nil; cityArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: @"New York" ..., nil]; return self; } would work. In fact in its original case, there would be a crash, because cityArray would point to a trashed pointer... I don't understand why it is not crashing. Maybe du to a bad initialization because of the miss of [super init] ???
