On Xcode 8.3.2, I see lots of leaks when running my mac app, which previously showed no leaks in an older version.

Calls to things like addSubview:, basic API use are showing leaks everywhere. I hope these are false positives. Even if they are not, there's nothing I can do about these, but it does make for tracking down leaks I can do something about harder.

Do you use "leaks" in instruments, or the "Memory Graph Debugger" in Xcode ? For the latter, use "Malloc Scribble" in the scheme to (drastically) improve accuracy.

I was using instruments. Perhaps I ought to try the Memory Graph Debugger.

Btw. also make sure that "zombies" is off, because these are leaks by definition.
