Question

i have this code that passes the core data context to one of the controllers.
it was working great for few days, until the debugger started to give me the “not A type release” error and crashing the app.
i have checked the app for leaks and i found leaks from the SappDelegate object. so i understand that i have to release it but it keeping crashing every time i do it.

any ideas
thanks

SAppDelegate *hbad= [[SAppDelegate alloc] init];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [hbad managedObjectContext];
[hbad release];
if (!context) {
    NSLog(@"problem with mannaged");
}
self.managedObjectContext = context;

Answer 1

If SAppDelegate is your actual app delegate, that is not the correct way to get it. you should change your code to:

SAppDelegate *hbad= [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
NSManagedObjectContext *context = [hbad managedObjectContext];
if (!context) {
    NSLog(@"problem with mannaged");
}
self.managedObjectContext = context;

Also, leaks will not cause crashes until MUCH later when your application runs out of memory and the system kills it.
