UIViewController -dealloc method not called

Question

I am working with Automatic Reference Counting. I have a custom UIViewController subclass and whenever I call -presentViewController: animated:completion

Answer 1

To get a print when the View Controller is deallocated you can implement the dealloc method as

- (void) dealloc {
    NSLog(@"The instance of MyViewController was deallocated");
}

Then to get a print when the View Controller left the view you can implement

- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    NSLog(@"The instance of MyViewController left the main view")
}
