If an application produces a lot of memory leaks, are they "just" an in-app problem or are they also in RAM after the termination of the application? So does the iPhone OS release the memory allocated for the sandboxed application?
Thank you

Using the Xcode Memory Graph tool To be thorough when detecting memory leaks, you should run the app and navigate through all possible flows by opening the same view controllers several times and entering the memory graph debugger to look at the memory heap.
In most cases, you can fix the Windows 10 memory leak issues yourself. You can close resource-intensive apps, disable certain startup apps, and perform similar tasks to fix a memory leak.
A memory leak occurs when allocated memory becomes unreachable and the app can't deallocate it. Allowing an allocated-memory pointer to go out of scope without freeing the memory can cause a memory leak. A retain cycle in your app's object graph can also cause a memory leak.
A memory leak reduces the performance of the computer by reducing the amount of available memory. Eventually, in the worst case, too much of the available memory may become allocated and all or part of the system or device stops working correctly, the application fails, or the system slows down vastly due to thrashing.
Memory leaks are blocks of memory allocated by the OS for your program to use while it is running, but not correctly returned as not in use when the program has finished with them. So this memory is 'lost'. Your program isn't using it, but the system doesn't yet know that it is free for other use.
When your application finishes running, all of the memory allocated to it by the OS, will be returned for re-use. Which answers your question.
However, memory leaks are a significant bug. On a low-memory device, like an iPhone, the less memory you consume the better, you don't want to be leaking memory as you run. If the device runs low on memory, your application may be terminated or crash, unexpectedly.

Memory leaks occur when you allocate any object and miss out to release that objects while running application , so do analyse in xcode which will help in checking memory leaks, and run profile mode in xcode will help to check leaks possible in application.
and use NSAutoReleasePool to release the autorelease objects which will be created when you just assign objects wothout allocating
hope it helps .

Memory leaks are an in-app problem, but can have side effects on the total available RAM.
They are blocks of memory that are marked in use when they actually are no more used. So they are lost to the app. If you have leaks, this will increase memory consuption. And bad memory usage will be noted by the system and the app might be jettisoned (killed) by the watchdog, jetsam.
So keep your memory leaks to a minimum ;-)
It has an effect on the overall OS, but negligible in consequences. Because your app is not killed when you tap the hole button, but rather "backgrounded", all the memory that's used by your app is still live and unavalaible to the system. Jetsam will first tell you that the memory is low and ask you to get rid of stuff you don't need. Of course you cannot free your leaks.
If you still use too much memory for the system, and it needs to allocate more memory for another process, your app will get killed. All the memory it used will be freed, leaks included.
Leaks are bad, use the static CLang analyzer in Build and analyze.
