Correct, all objective-C objects are allocated on the heap (like using
new in C++). The compiler will not allow you to allocate objects on
the stack.
There are ways to trick the runtime into treating an area of the stack
as of it were an object, but the caviats are a list as long as my arm--
it's just not worth it.

It seems that every object is a pointer in the sample code I have

In C++, C* c; would be an uninitialized pointer. But the following
line will creates an object with the constructor C().
C c;
It seems that there is no such equivalent syntax in Objective-C.
objects are created either from factory pattern or [[A alloc]
someInitMethod ....];
so, is it possible to write?
NSString a;
NSNumber b;
