Question

I have an NSMutableArray with the following property:

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *alarmTableArray;

alarmTableArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]init];
FMDBDatabaseAccess *db = [[FMDBDatabaseAccess alloc] init];
alarmTableArray = [db getAlarm];

I tried releasing this array but I end up with EXC_BAD_ACCESS.
I am really worried about this.

How to release this array?

You’re using the descriptor of “strong” which is an ARC term. This should be retain and if you just set the property to nil it will release it automatically. You should set it to nil in your viewDidUnload since your ViewWillDissappear only means your viewcontroller is leaving visibility and not that it is being destroyed.
