Both setting self.view.layer.sublayers = nil and [layer removeFromSuperlayer] will result in crash if UIView contains any subview. Best way to remove CALayer from superLayer is by maintaining an array of layers. For instance that array is arrayOfLayers,

[arrayOfLayers addObject:layer];
[self.view.layer addSublayer:layer];

While removing just call this,

[arrayOfLayers makeObjectsPerformSelector:@selector(removeFromSuperlayer)];
