    <p>I have used the "Convert to Objective C ARC" option in Xcode 4.3 to convert a project started in Xcode 4.0 to use ARC. After fixing errors that the tool found, I went trough the process where the migration tool has removed all the release messages as well as retain attributes in my properties declarations. So now I have all of my properties having only <em>(nonatomic)</em> attribute. From reading the documentation I still don't have a clear answer on what to do. </p> <p>So my question is: <em>In case you omit the keyword regarding the setter semantics (strong, weak, retain, assign) in the property declaration, what is the default attribute on properties when using ARC?</em> </p> <p>I found in the documentation that the default property attribute is <strong>assign</strong>. However, they also say that now the default attribute for <strong>ivars</strong>, in case you omit it, is <strong>strong</strong>.</p> <p>To better explain my question, here is an example. I header file we have the declaration:</p> <pre><code>@property (nonatomic) MyClass *objectToUse; </code></pre> <p>and in our implementation we just have </p> <pre><code>@synthesize objectToUse; </code></pre> <p>If we then write inside some method:</p> <pre><code>self.objectToUse = [[MyClass alloc] init]; </code></pre> <p>have we created an strong (retain) or weak (assign) reference? If we instead write</p> <pre><code>objectToUse = [[MyClass alloc] init]; </code></pre> <p>by using the ivar have we changed the situation regarding the object retention policy? It seems to me that now with ARC, the best practice of using the properties for memory management is not the same practice anymore.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
