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

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.
