@synthesize not added

Question

@synthesize not added

I'm using Xcode 4.6.3.

When I right-click and drag on an object in the xib pane into the ViewController.h to create an Outlet connection, Xcode creates the property declaration in the header file, but the corresponding @synthesize entry and deallocation related statement that sets the property to nil is not being generated in the implementation file.

Am I missing something or is the a bug?

TIA

No longer needed. An automatic, implicit, synthesize is generated. The backing variable is prefixed with a "_". For example @property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *foo has backing var of _foo. You can turn this off in the build settings for the project. And because of ARC you don't need a dealloc nil.
