If you can target iOS 4.0 or above

Using GCD, is it the best way to create singleton in Objective-C (thread safe)?

Answer 1

//Create Singleton  
  +( instancetype )defaultDBManager
    {

        static dispatch_once_t onceToken = 0;
        __strong static id _sharedObject = nil;

        dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
            _sharedObject = [[self alloc] init];
        });

        return _sharedObject;
    }


//In it method
-(instancetype)init
{
    self = [super init];
  if(self)
     {
   //Do your custom initialization
     }
     return self;
}
