Object Scope and Lifetime In Objective-C the lifetime of an object is not governed by the scope in which it appears - it is managed manually by the programmer. - (id) retain, -(void) release, and - (void) autorelease are the methods we use to let the runtime know if we’re still interested in an object or not. Other variables in Objective-C don’t have to be managed in this way. Structures can be declared and will ...
