Question

I am having a uiviewcontroller instance and when I am releasing it the dealloc method of it is called.

I have released some objects in dealloc method of that uiviewcontroller.

If I comment [super dealloc] the app is working fine but if don’t it is crashing.

I think there is no problem with the releases that I am doing in that method, but if I do [super dealloc] it is crashing.

Can any one help me out with this?

Hard to tell from your post without more information, but does your dealloc method look like this?

- (void)dealloc {

    [super dealloc];

    self.someProperty = nil;
}

Because if it does, you’re calling a setter method on a deallocated instance. You should always call [super dealloc] last:

- (void)dealloc {

    self.someProperty = nil;

    [super dealloc];

}

Not sure if that helps. Try posting what your dealloc method looks like if not. Hard to troubleshoot in the dark.
