Objective-C : Missed super call

Classification

OWASP Mobile Top 10 2016
M7-Poor Code Quality

Overview

Superclass method call is missing.

When initializing the object of inherited class it is recommended to call the initialization defined in the base class by calling [super init];. Otherwise, the structure of the created object structure may be incorrect in terms of the base class.
