Hey Guys i am getting this error "message sent to deallocated instance 0x141dafb0" its comming from a UIBarButtonItem when its beeing pressed on the application. any help would be greatly appreciated

Error:

 *** -[PeerConnection performSelector:withObject:withObject:]: message sent to deallocated instance 0x14143ff0

PeerConnection.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <GameKit/GameKit.h>

@interface PeerConnection : NSObject <GKPeerPickerControllerDelegate, GKSessionDelegate> {
 UIBarButtonItem *StartConnection;
}

- (IBAction) StartConnectionAction;

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *StartConnection;

@end

PeerConnection.m

    #import "PeerConnection.h"


@implementation PeerConnection
@synthesize StartConnection;


- (IBAction) StartConnectionAction {
 NSLog(@"Start Connection to the other IPhones");
 [StartConnection release];
}

- (void)dealloc {
 [super dealloc];
}

@end

i have enabled Zombie and that is all its giving to me

Answer 1

Don't release your StartConnection button until -dealloc. Releasing that bar button item in -StartConnectionAction is your problem--anything the UI tries to do with it after that will call a zombie.
