This is somewhat an attendant question to Do I need to release xib resources?
If I have added a static UIView (for example an UILabel that doesn’t change) do I need to release it?
Since I’m not going the edit the UIView I haven’t created any connection, @property or @synthesize.
Do I still need to create this in order to connect it in my IB and release it? That does seem like strange logic. But I want to be certain that this is not the case.
No you needn’t release it unless you have a property retain. You send release message to decrement the object count and in your case it is not necessary.
