If I submit my app with NSZombieEnabled = YES

Sometimes I set NSZombieEnabled environment argument to YES for debugging.

This time I forgot to turn off the option, and submitted my application to App Store.

I suppose this option is just an environment option, so and does not affect to submitted application.

Am I correct?

To add some clarity to this answer:

I just ran a test. I inserted this code into my app at startup:

if(getenv("NSZombieEnabled") || getenv("NSAutoreleaseFreedObjectCheckEnabled"))
    assert(NO);

I then configured XCode as per the image below.

NSZombieEnabled in xcode

I launched my app on the device in the debugger. As expected, it crashed with an assertion failure. I then disconnected the debugger and launched the application normally on the device. No crash.

Thus, provided you configure NSZombieEnabled in XCode in the manner below, it looks like you are OK submitting to app store.

Depends on how you set it. It is possible to toggle at runtime.

If you have just set it in the environment in Xcode, then -- no -- it won't be set when run on a device outside of Xcode.

(Note that zombie detection enabled uses a ton of memory because it effectively causes no object to be deallocated, just marked as "should have been deallocated")
