Question

I am trying to figure out how to declare my delegates without getting any errors. I realize now that delegates are supposed to have a weak reference, I was prior to this using (strong) refrencing which is obviously a bad thing…

So now I am declaring my delegates like this

class.h

//..
id <SearchViewParsedData> SearchViewdelegate;
//..
@property (weak, nonatomic) id <SearchViewParsedData> SearchViewdelegate;

however in my class.m where I have @synthesize‘d them I am getting this error.

Existing ivar ‘SearchViewdelegate’ for __weak property
‘SearchViewdelegate’ must be __weak

So how am I supposed to declare this?

Answer 1

In your @interface when you declare the ivar for SearchViewDelegate, you need to declare the ivar as weak too:

__weak id <SearchViewParsedData> SearchViewDelegate;
