Mastering Swift 2 Programming (Video 20)

This video tutorial explores how strong reference cycles can lead to memory leaks in Swift. It demonstrates creating a memory leak using a strong reference cycle between two objects, a vehicle and a driver, in an Xcode project. The tutorial then guides viewers on how to identify these leaks using Instruments, a tool for profiling applications. By creating and analyzing memory snapshots, the video shows how to isolate the problem and prepare for fixing it in the next tutorial.

What steps can be taken to isolate a memory leak in an application?

How can weak references help in managing memory effectively?
