Some blog found out this is because the UIWebView.delegate's property is assign, instead of weak. So, we should set this to nil manually, which is also pointed out in Apple's document:
"Important
Before releasing an instance of UIWebView for which you have set a delegate, you must first set its delegate property to nil. This can be done, for example, in your dealloc method."
In our app, we got some crash like this
