Title
Body
As you read here in most cases a IBOutlet should be weak. Now as you can read in the development library not all classes support weak references. (e.g. NSTextView). This means you have to use assign: @property (assign) IBOutlet NSTextView *textView; If you use a weak reference you will get the following error: "Synthesis of a weak-unavailable property is disallowed because it requires synthesis of an ivar of the __weak object" What the documentation missed to mention is now you have to set the property again to nil after it's usage e.g. by a dealloc method: - (void)dealloc { self.textView = nil; } As far as I understood classes marked with NS_AUTOMATED_REFCOUNT_WEAK_UNAVAILABLE don't support weak references but what is the reason?
