Question

I’ve the code as below:

+(void) addHeader:(UIViewController*) hostViewController requiresBackBtn:(BOOL)BooleanValue
{       
    ApplicationHeader *appHeader = [[ApplicationHeader alloc] initWithNibName:@"ApplicationHeader" bundle:nil];
    appHeader.hostViewController = hostViewController;
    [appHeader.view setFrame:CGRectZero];
    [hostViewController.view addSubview:appHeader.view];

    if (BooleanValue) {
        [appHeader.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 97)];
    }
    else {
        [appHeader.backBtn setHidden:TRUE]; 
        [appHeader.view setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 74)];
    }
//    [appHeader release]; // This call tends to app Crash!!!!!
}

If I call release to appHeader then the app crashes I press the button which found in appHeader!!
And if I doesn’t this is a memory leak.

What to do now?
🙁

I don’t know what an ApplicationHeader is, but I know that yours has a retained view from
[hostViewController.view addSubview:appHeader.view];
Would ApplicationHeader be better as a subclass of UIView? Without more information, I’m not sure what to suggest as a solution but I think you need to rethink what you are trying to accomplish.
