I am using a NIB template, loading the same nib repetitively with a different owner each time (a non NSViewController subclass). In the nib there is an NSValueBinding binding to the owner say: self.itemValue. This all works fine.
However, nib owner items are not being dealloc’d. This behaviour only occurs if the nib contains a binding to self. Keary Suska has been down this route pre ARC : http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/cocoa/181029-proper-way-to-unload-loaded-nib-bindings.html Nib top level objects seem to have an extra retain. The docs recommend the following [topLevelObjs makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(release)]; https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/LoadingResources/CocoaNibs/CocoaNibs.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000051i-CH4-SW8 However I haven’t been able to get this explicit release approach to work under ARC. Just calling CFRelease((__bridge CFTypeRef)(item)) on each of the top level objects doesn’t work. Or should I refactor to make each NIB owner an NSViewController instance?
