I’ve only used Java and Ruby for so long that I’m really not enjoying keeping track of my own memory again. It’s not that I can’t do it, I can. I just don’t want to.
Any special tricks, libraries, or anything else you’ve learned for dealing with memory in iApps, lay it on me here.
I would highly recommend getting Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK.
Another key thing to look into is getting the Clang Static Analyzer setup. It analyzes your code and can catch many common memory leaks as well as potential logic issues. Apple has contributed to this analyzer heavily and will be looking to integrate it into future releases of X-Code 😉
