Question

Why is this code producing a memory leak?

- (void)loadModalInfo
{    
    InformationScreenViewController *infoView = [[InformationScreenViewController alloc] init];
    infoView.url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"NewPatientInfo" withExtension:@"html"]; // LEAKING
   // [infoView setModalPresentationStyle:UIModalPresentationFormSheet];
    [infoView setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal];
    [self presentModalViewController:infoView animated:YES];
    [infoView release];
    infoView = nil;
}

I’m new using Instruments and I can’t figure out why is that code leaking.
Thanks in advance.

In your InformationScreenViewController.m in the dealoc method release the url.
