I have a custom ViewController class and many instances of it, and I want them all to be able to message the same Model (another custom class, only one instance). Passing pointers to the Model along to new instances of the ViewController seems impractical, especially since the model is lazily instantiated. What is the cleanest, most idiomatic, ARC way to do this?
Usually a singleton in ObjC will have a class method that serves as an accessor for the single instance. The convention is for this to be called either
defaultXorsharedX. If your model class is indeed a singleton, you should already have such a method. Since class names are globally available, all you have to do to access the instance anywhere in your program is[MyModelClass sharedModel].
