Objective-C Memory Management: crash on release

Question

I\'m new to Objective-C and can\'t seem to get the memory management code right. I have the following code:

Media* myMedia = [self.myMediaManager getNextMedia];
         


        

Answer 1

Only objects that you own can be released.

You can release objects if you new, alloc, copy, mutableCopy or retain them first.

Since there is no alloc/copy/retain in [self.myMediaManager getNextMedia]; you can't release it.
