SKScene Fails to deallocate memory resulting in bounded memory growth

Question

I have been struggling with this for days, for some reason my SKScenes are not deallocating correctly, this results in bounded memory growth as each time i exit and enter a

Answer 1

In a game I'm working on I have a method for going on to the next scene. It looks like this:

func proceedToNextLevel() {
    // Go to next level
    self.physicsWorld.removeAllJoints()
    self.enumerateChildNodesWithName("cube", usingBlock: {
        (node: SKNode!, stop: UnsafeMutablePointer ) -> Void in
        // do something with node or stop
        node.removeFromParent()
    })
    player.removeFromParent()
    hud.removeFromParent()
}

Each level is a scene that inherits this method. (I have a GameScene.swift, and every level is a subclass of it)

This method in each level looks like this:

override func proceedToNextLevel() {
    super.proceedToNextLevel()
    let transition = SKTransition.revealWithDirection(SKTransitionDirection.Right, duration: 3)
    let newScene: LevelFourScene = LevelFourScene.unarchiveFromFile("LevelFourScene") as! LevelFourScene
    newScene.scaleMode = SKSceneScaleMode.AspectFit
    self.view?.presentScene(newScene)
}

Obviously this is swift and your game is in Objective C but hopefully you get the idea.
