Memory leak in Network.framework

Are there any known memory leaks in the Network framework? When using the start function on NWConnection I find a small leak appear every time (see attached image). I am using it for websockets

Are there any known memory leaks in the Network framework?

Well, there will be once you file a bug about this one (-:

Seriously though, if you can reliably reproduce a leak, as shown by the Leaks instrument, and:

  • You’re using Swift

  • Or using a C-based language with ARC

  • And not going out of your way to break the memory management rules

then that’s either a bug in the OS or a bug in the Leaks instrument.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

ps It’d help if you attached a small test project that demonstrates the leak and a saved Instrument trace of the leak in action.

Hi there, the bug report has been open since October 2024 with no reply, any news? We don't want to release leaky apps and this is currently preventing us from switching to Network.framework
