Core Plot Bar Graph Library crashing in iOS 8

Question

I have integrated CorePlot bar graph library in my project but my graph is crashing , due to memory leak , I have enabled NSZombieEnabled aswell but it is crashing as my crash log as below.

I am also enclosing my GraphView code aswell and remove dealloc from code aswell but couldnt figure out the reason for crash

- (void)generateData:(NSArray *)customerArr  withVisitCounts:(NSArray *)visitCountsArr
{
    NSMutableDictionary *dataTemp = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];

    //Array containing all the dates that will be displayed on the X axis
    dates = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"TestData", @"TestData", @"TestData",
             @"TestData", @"TestData", nil];

    //Dictionary containing the name of the two sets and their associated color
    //used for the demo
    sets = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor blueColor], @"Plot 1", nil];

    //Generate random data for each set of data that will be displayed for each day
    //Numbers between 1 and 10
    for (NSString *date in dates) {
        NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        for (NSString *set in sets) {
            NSNumber *num = [NSNumber numberWithInt:arc4random_uniform(10)+1];
            [dict setObject:num forKey:set];
        }
        [dataTemp setObject:dict forKey:date];
    }

    self.data =  [NSDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary:[dataTemp copy]];
    [dataTemp release];

    NSLog(@"%@", data);
}

GraphView files also enclosed

My Project is ARC with new xcode 6.1.1 but I am using -fno-objc-arc in Compiled Sources of GraphView, and I have download library from Core Plot Bar Github

I don't see any obvious problems. `NSZombieEnabled` doesn't ever free any memory used by your app, so the memory usage grows every time you create a new object. Turn it off and see if you still run into memory issues. — Eric Skroch, Jan 30 '15 at 01:54
Yes I am still running out of memory and project is ARC based — user366584, Jan 30 '15 at 10:43
-fno-objc-arc, I am using this in Compiled Source of GraphView, rest of the project is ARC based — user366584, Jan 30 '15 at 15:05

Enable ARC in the GraphView class. It's an easy conversion and it will fix a couple of obvious memory management errors (and maybe some other not-so-obvious ones). The line [plot.dataSource retain]; is equivalent to [self retain];, so the view will never be deallocated. Also, the [dataTemp copy] in -generateData: withVisitCounts: is never released.

I tried by enabling ARC in GraphView class and commented out [plot.dataSource retain]; and also removed dataTemp copy but no luck :( – user366584 Jan 31 '15 at 08:44
