Here's my test project:

There are three labels that are outlets. One has a retain property, one an assign property, and the third no property. Unless they are released they are never dealloced. All three act the same.


It would help if you declared/connected your outlets correctly...

If you declare a property:

@property (nonatomic, assign) MyLabel *label1;

but make the connection in IB to mLabel1, then the property accessor isn't used. So the outlet is set using setValue:forKey:. Which results in the value being retained, precisely as described in the documentation...

If you declare the the properties as I described:

@interface ViewControllerOne : UIViewController
{
    MyLabel*	mLabel1;
    MyLabel*	mLabel2;
    IBOutlet MyLabel*	mLabel3;
}

@property (nonatomic, assign) IBOutlet MyLabel *mLabel1;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet MyLabel *mLabel2;
// No property for label3

then you'll get the behaviour I described...
