weak or strong for IBOutlet and other [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here: Should IBOutlets be strong or weak under ARC? 11 answers I have switched my project to ARC, and I don't understand if I have to use strong or weak for IBOutlets. Xcode do this: in interface builder, if a create a UILabel for example and I connect it with assistant editor to my ViewController , it create this: @property (nonatomic, strong) UILabel *aLabel; It uses the strong , instead I read a tutorial on RayWenderlich website that say this: But for these two particular properties I have other plans. Instead of strong , we will declare them as weak .
