iOS How to FInd Where memory leaks are

[Duke Leto]

In anther thread, it seems that people know which lines of code leak. How is it possible to determine where exactly the leak is. I am using Instruments, but it only tells me that I am leaking an Array somewhere.

Debug memory leaks (one way) is to run your app using "Run/Start with Performance Tool/Object Allocations"

If you see allocations go up but not come back down .... You may have a leak...

In Instruments, hover the mouse over the Array (or whatever object) that is leaking. You'll see a ">" icon appear next to it. Click on that to drill down. Eventually it will lead you to the exact line in your code that is leaking.

It's *very* useful!
