retain cycle

[incanus]

RMMapView creates one or more RMMapTiledLayerView objects which in turn retain the RMMapView:

https://github.com/Alpstein/route-me/blob/release/MapView/Map/RMMapTiledLayerView.m#L41

When the RMMapView is released, this is never explicitly cleaned up. Now that location services are available, removing a map view from the view hierarchy won't necessary turn them off since the map view never goes away from memory.

Ok, I see. I added the retain in RMMapTiledLayerView to get rid of some crashes when the CATiledLayer is too slow to clean up before the map view goes away. I'll check this.

I'd also like to add that RMAnnotation's retain a copy of the map view as well, which causes a similar problem to the RMMapTiledLayerView.

Any progress on this issue? Can I help?

I haven't had a chance to check things out in depth yet. @trasch, any luck?

[trasch]

No, not yet. I'll have a look at it soon, I'll have to do some route-me related stuff anyway.

I found and fixed another retain cycle. I sent the pull request above, however there seem to be a backlog of pull requests going back five months. Should I be fixing a different branch/fork?
