Help? Instant Memory Leak if PNG image is added to XIB

[MegaJiXiang]

1) Open up XCode
2) Create a new Project (iPhone OS->Application->View Based Application) *Make sure to set the product to iPad
3) Add a PNG file (This is what I am using) to the resources folder.
4) Open up either of the two XIB files that comes with your project in the Interface Builder by double-clicking
5) Click on Media and drag your image onto the big empty space
6) Save and quit Interface Builder
7) Build the project
8) In XCode, go to Run, Run with Performance Tool, Leaks
9) Watch the memory leak!

Anyone know why this happens or how to fix/prevent it? My app is done and as far as I can tell I have no leaks of my own but this one is driving me insane. The fact that I can get it to happen just by making a new app and adding an image bothers me. I tried making it an IBOutlet of my app's delegate and releasing it in the dealloc method but get the same result.

No one knows?

I just tried the same thing by making an iPhone app and added some buttons and a text box. It starts leaking. Without these objects, there are no leaks.

Guys, help me out here.

There is no leak, it is cached.

So what's the idea behind showing leaks if it's not a leak? How do I determine my own leaks when there are random other ones happening constantly from "caching?"

how 'leaky' is it? sorry, but i am not sure of the right terms here..

anyway, i've seen some leaks in my own apps as well, but most of the time these leaks come from Apple's frameworks.. i just leave it as it is.. not sure what others are doing, but i think Apple is the one who needs to fix it..

The leak seems to be coming from Apple's CoreGraphics library. It does not matter whether the image is being added through IB or programmatically.

Are you running it on the device? There are several Core Graphics leaks I only see when running on the simulator. As long as it goes away on the device, it should not be an issue.
