Answer from AI
To detect memory leaks in iOS applications, tools from Xcode are usually used:
- Instruments (Leaks and Allocations) — allows real-time monitoring of memory usage, identifying objects that are not released.
- Xcode Memory Graph Debugger — visualizes objects in memory and their connections, helping to find cyclic references.
Example of usage:
- Run the application through Instruments with the Leaks profile.
- Perform actions in the app that may cause leaks.
- Analyze reports and graphs to find objects that are not released.
It is also useful to use Xcode's static analyzer to find potential memory issues.
