How to get iOS memory consumption info of simulator?

Question

Running an iOS simulator, is there any way to get information related to memory consumption of your simulated device? just to get an idea of how good the application is and whether I am not running out of memory due to extensive usage of data in plist and things like that.

Answer 1

You can use XCode Profile tools to check allocation, memory leaks. And there is an activity monitor to check the resource utilization.

Product->Profile (in XCode 4.2) and then choose the option you want to profile your application.

Answer 2

Instead of profiling while running you can check under memory tab. It will give you dynamic memory consumption. Click on Memory to reveal details . You can directly profile from that detail too. Not only Memory , you can check other CPU,DISK,NETWORK too.
