How do I implement an Objective-C singleton that is compatible with ARC?

if you want to create other instance as needed.do this:

+ (MyClass *)sharedInstance
{
    static MyClass *sharedInstance = nil;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        sharedInstance = [[MyClass alloc] init];
        // Do any other initialisation stuff here
    });
    return sharedInstance;
}

else,you should do this:

+ (id)allocWithZone:(NSZone *)zone
{
    static MyClass *sharedInstance = nil;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        sharedInstance = [super allocWithZone:zone];
    });
    return sharedInstance;
}

This is a version for ARC and non-ARC

How To use:

MySingletonClass.h

@interface MySingletonClass : NSObject

+(MySingletonClass *)sharedInstance;

@end

MySingletonClass.m

#import "MySingletonClass.h"
#import "SynthesizeSingleton.h"
@implementation MySingletonClass
SYNTHESIZE_SINGLETON_FOR_CLASS(MySingletonClass)
@end

In exactly the same way that you (should) have been doing it already:

+ (instancetype)sharedInstance
{
    static MyClass *sharedInstance = nil;
    static dispatch_once_t onceToken;
    dispatch_once(&onceToken, ^{
        sharedInstance = [[MyClass alloc] init];
        // Do any other initialisation stuff here
    });
    return sharedInstance;
}
