Objective-c singleton memory deallocation

Question

Do I have to somehow release the shared object (on which one singleton is based) when my application terminates if the garbage collector is not used (iPhone environment)?

Answer 1

When the application exits, all its memory is freed. So it doesn’t matter if you let go of objects at all, if you don’t use too much memory while working.

Even when the strategy changes to 4.0, one small object will not have much impact; it will still be released along with the rest of the application when it is completed.
