Why does creating and removing SKShapeNode and SKNode repeatedly cause a memory leak?

Question

Using the sprite kit template that comes with Xcode, I modify the scene to be as follows :

#import \"MyScene.h\"

@interface MyScene ()
@property (nonatomic,stro         


        

Answer 1

I'm using iOS 7.1.1 and had the same problem. However, by setting the SKShapeNode's path property to nil before removing a shape from a parent did fix this issue - no more leaks.
