When you call [_session release]
since _session is an Ivar, the compiler will replace this line by [self->_session release]
and the block will retain self
instead of the iVar _session
.
Here you have 2 problems:
Trying to retain an object(self) which are deallocating.
When the queue will be executed, it'll call self which is already deallocated.
The following solution create a local variable which point to the same address as the iVar and release it inside the block, the block will not capture self.
-(void) dealloc
{
//... other release
MCSession* localSession = _session;
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
[localSession release];
});
[super dealloc];
}
