Chapter 12 - Swift - Outlets not declared using "weak"
[Book: Beginning iPhone development with Swift - Chapter 12]
I was wondering why the outlets that are declared for the "FirstViewController" are not declared using the "weak" keyword i.e.
@IBOutlet var officerLabel: UILabel!
etc...
as opposed to:
@IBOutlet weak var officerLabel: UILabel!
etc...
... which I assumed was always necessary to avoid a strong reference cycle?
Have I misunderstood something about IBOutlets?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance
Matt
