Basic question here. I started using ARC and am not sure if I should release objects in situations where another object takes ownership.

e.g. [self.view addSubview:someViewController.view];

Should this view be released or can I just leave it as is?

Same goes for an array, when adding objects to an array, should I release them afterwards because the array has the object ownership or can I just leave it?

    For this sitiuation [self.view addSubview:someViewController.view];, if someViewController is a strong property then after using it, you should call self.someViewController = nil

    For an array you dont call release on the objects, but if the array is a strong property then you will need to set it to nil when you are done with it
