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:

  1. Run the application through Instruments with the Leaks profile.
  2. Perform actions in the app that may cause leaks.
  3. 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.
