IOS: property and dealloc

Question

I have a stupid problem, in my code I do:

in .h

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *currentImage;

in.m

@syntesyze currentImage;

then in my class I use "self.currentImage"...

in dealloc I try to do:

[self.currentImage release] or self.currentImage = nil

but my app crash ever and the problem is that "message sent to deallocated instance", why? I have a retain in .h, what's the problem?

Answer 1

I solved my problem with

self.currentImage = nil;

in viewDidUnload method.

Answer 2

remove self from self.currentImage.

[currentImage release];
currentImage = nil;
