title: Are the objective C selectors dealloc and release in still in use as of iOS 6?
body: <p>I'm new iOS development. Do I still need to release my properties in <code>dealloc</code> in iOS 6?</p>
  
  <p>If not, how are my retained properties released? Is it done automatically?</p>
  
  <p>Need some guidance on this. Sorry if this is a stupid question..</p>
  
  <p>For example, when i do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>- (void)dealloc
  {
      [super dealloc];
  }
  @end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get a message similar to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ARC forbids explicit message send of 'dealloc'
  </code></pre>
