Thanks all, you've saved me a fair bit of time having to
experiment/research this further.
Just to clarify - none of the bundles (or the app) are using GC so it'll be
an ARC app loading manual RR code.
David - always worth pointing out the memory management conventions, it'll
be something I have to keep in mind when testing the ARC app for the first
time.
Cheers,
