The documentation for this autoreleased method:

states: "If repeats is NO, the timer will be invalidated after it fires."

If I call this autoreleased method, and set repeats to YES, does that imply I do not need to retain the object if I want to invalidate it later? In other words, is this autoreleased method autoreleased only when repeats is NO, otherwise it is not autoreleased?

Just want to make sure I understand it correctly.  Thanks in advance!

If you receive an autoreleased object, you must retain it if you want to keep it. Doesn't matter what the object is.
