ImageViews Leaking in Memory

Hey guys,

I'm running into a high problem which is preventing me from publishing my app to the app store.

Any time I load an image, that image (ImageIO_jpeg_data) gets stored in memory and never released.

var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    backgroundColor : 'red'
});
 
var imageview = Ti.UI.createImageView();
win.add(imageview);
 
var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
    top : 70,
    left : 10,
    width : 300,
    height : 50,
    title : "Set Label's Text"
});
 
win.add(button);
 
var first = false;
 
var updateLabelText = function() {
    if (first == false) {
        imageview.image = 'http://phaseoneimageprofessor.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/iqpw29_main_image_.jpg';
        first = true;
    } else {
        imageview.image = null;
        win.remove(imageview);
        imageview = null;
        button.removeEventListener('click', updateLabelText);
    }
};
 
button.addEventListener('click', updateLabelText);
win.open();

Using Instruments, I found out that any image I load is using so much memory and never using released (my app has hundreds of images, so you could imagine how that's working for me).

I'm using the latest daily build, latest xCode, latest iOS etc.

Would really appreciate the help.

Thanks guys, Abdul
