When using ARC (automatic reference counting) in Objective-C, you need to be careful to avoid causing retain cycles. One place where a retain cycle can occur is where self is referenced in a block. To avoid a retain cycle, you can use the __unsafe_unretained modifier as such:
__unsafe_unretained id unretained_self = self;
reachability = [Reachability reachabilityWithHostname:@"maps.google.com"];
reachability.reachableBlock = ^(Reachability *r) {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
SurveyFormController *myself = unretained_self;
self.mapView.reachable = YES;
[myself configureView];
});
};
