Memory Usage

Targets iOS
2

There are mostly two ways of checking memory consumption in an iOS app.

  1. Using MemoryReport analysis following an example from @Kem_Tekinay Finding memory leak - #4 by Kem_Tekinay
    You can find an example iOS project in this feedback: <https://xojo.com/issue/64715>
    You will need to run the project in an iPad simulator to see the memory report in the Detail view of the Split layout.
    This is how I can track some memory leaks, but it isn’t very efficient.

  2. Use Xcode Instruments developer tool, using the Allocations profiling template. It is a bit complicated to understand when you first use it. I spent several hours profiling an iOS app to bring memory usage from 170MB down to 50-60MB.
