Anyway, what's the proper method for updating the data for the list ? I
need to change all the data.



Currently I'm setting the tableView's data source to "nil", I'm
releasing the old dataSource, creating a new one (with the new items)
then setting a the table's dataSource to the new one... is that close ?

Not even.

The datasource is a fairly passive entity, sitting waiting to be asked by the table to give it content. If the data changes you simply call [table reloadData]; and the datasource will be called again as needed to return the new data.

Swapping out the datasource is never needed.
