SKShapeNode producing crash sometimes on dealloc EXC_BAD_ACCESS

Question

In my main scene I create 4 walls with this method:

-(void)createFirstWalls{

    CGFloat maxY = CGRectGetMaxY(self.frame);
    Wall* wall1=[Wall wallWithRect:se         


        

Answer 1

One possible cause is that you aren't releasing the CGPathRef object. See this question/answer.

Try adding these two lines after last using the path:

self.path=path;

CGPathRelease(path);
path = nil;

Also there used to be a bug where removing SKShapeNodes caused a crash. Be sure to run the latest Xcode 5 version / iOS 7.1 SDK.
