Removing Observers in Cocoa Post-ARC

Question

So far, I have removed observers (notifications or CVOs) in dealloc. Since dealloc has gone to ARC, what is the recommended way to do this?

Answer 1

-dealloc does not fall under ARC. Functions related to ivar release and super call are handled automatically, which allows you to omit it if that’s all you are going to do, but you should still implement it for other things if it makes sense to do so.
