I'm using the Accessorizer code helper for xCode. I seem to have it configured correctly and it is generating property statements and synthesize statements fine.
It is not generating the release statements however when I choose the dealloc action.
If I choose dealloc against an NSTimer, it does generate the [myTimer invalidate] statement, but not the release statements, so it seems to be triggering the dealloc action, but the action isn't configured properly? and so no release code generated.
Has anyone come across an issue like this using accessorizer?
Amazing how you find an answer just after asking a question.
For anyone else that has this issue, turn off ARC Aware in the Accessor Style TAB of the Accessorizer application. (yes seems bleedingly obvious in hindsight, was stupidly thinking it might be aware of the xcode project settings and ARC isn't on for this project, but its really just a 'dumb' editing tool that operates only on the input text i.e. not integrated to xCode).
The things we have to go through to do something that anyone who codes objective C for more than half an hour would have made the first feature of a new IDE. (automatic generation of property/synthesize etc.)
