What is a retain cycle?



What is a retain cycle?..

Answer / Huma Rizvi

A retain cycle occurs when two or more objects maintain strong references to each other, preventing any of them from being deallocated. This leads to memory leaks in Objective-C. To avoid retain cycles, developers should avoid creating property cycles and using weak or unowned references.
