Goals ⚽

  • Fix a memory leak in NetworkReachabilityManager

Implementation Details 🚧

As passRetained(_:) described, it creates an unmanaged reference with an unbalanced retain.The instance passed as value will leak if nothing eventually balances the retain.
In this case, we don't need to perform a retain, if the NetworkReachabilityManager deinit, we will call stopListening to set the context of callback nil.

Thanks for the PR! Your're right, this is likely a bug. Would it be possible to demonstrate the cycle with a test? Say, create an optional manager, capture it weakly, start and stop it, then nil the reference and check the weak reference to see if it's still around?

@dirtmelon Looks like the added tests has an up to 10% failure rate, so there may be something else keeping the reference alive or internal async processes we need to wait for. I'm investigating, but I'd appreciate your attention too.
