I would agree although this Bill's idea might come from a derivation that (IIRC) there is a reasonable expectation that the "gotten" object will persist at least in the current scope, and this can be guaranteed by returning an autoreleased object. But it certainly can't be canon that getters return autoreleased objects, as it is explicitly documented that nonatomic synthesized getters are *not* implemented this way. Back to the issue at hand, I am curious, is there a property declaration that indicates assign ownership? Also, if you simply set the ivar directly (mEventTypes = [self newEventTypes]), does the warning go away? HTH, Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
