MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork causes crash (weird issue)

Question

allocations before running \'extra loop\'

The code:

Answer 1

The problem was that UIImage usually keeps just a ref(CGImageRef), which is a small one. After displaying items, CGImageRef was 'injected' with information. As a result the table was growing all the time.

The simple but not the most beautiful solution was to use the code:

NSArray = @[obj1, obj2, obj3]; // where obj is custom NSObject and has a UIImage property

instead of:

NSArray = @[img1, img2, img3]; // where img is of UIImage type

Answer 2

Wrap in @autorelease pool?

Also, why are you setting the image for veryTemp (I assume it's a UIImageView) 800 times in [veryTemp setImage:coverImage]; ?

Finally:

[_albumCovers objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

You're getting the image object at the exact same index (indexPath.row) in your loop. I am not quite sure what you're trying to achieve in your code?
