Question

From what I understand I should always use self.property_name everywhere except in getter and setter when using property, but in case I declared @synthesis property_name=ivar does omit self.property equal using property_name alone ?

Answer 1

I’m not following your question complete, but if you are asking does using the following:

@synthesize property_name=ivar

mean that you could use both self.property_name or just property_name the answer is no. If you wanted to use it without the self you would have to reference if via the ivar.

That is only true, of course, if you only declared the variable using @property and @synthesize and didn’t also include it as an ivar in the @interface declaration
