Question

If my instance is observing some property of another object, am I supposed to call removeObserver:forKeyPath: in dealloc?

Answer 1

Yes

...unless there is a more appropriate time earlier in execution.

Observers are held as nonretained references. Failing to un-register can result in your deallocated instance being messaged.

Answer 2

You need to use -removeObserver:forKeyPath: to remove the observer before -[NSObject dealloc] runs, so yes, doing it in the -dealloc method of your class would work.
