It seems pretty simple to me. Read the memory management rules. It explains pretty clearly what you own. That’s all that you care about. You don’t care if its autoreleased or not. You just care whether you own it or not. If you own it, you release it when you’re done. If you don’t own it, you let it be or gain ownership and then release it when you’re done.
