title: What are the Malloc memory leaks shown in Instruments in Xcode, and how can I fix them?
body: <p>I recently started working on optimizing the memory usage in my Swift application. When I started using the Leaks Instrument, I got over 100 "Malloc" leaks with no descriptions. I've looked around, but cannot find an explanation. </p>
  
  <p>I'm running iOS 12.0 and Xcode 10.2</p>
  
  <p>I went as far as commenting out all of the functions that were being called in my ViewDidLoad, and I'm still getting around 50 Malloc leaks. 
  I researched what causes memory leaks, and there's nothing in my code to suggest a leak, but I'm fairly new to memory management.</p>
  
  <p>It's important for my app to not have leaks, so any help would be appreciated!</p>
