I’ve heard a lot of people talk of a tool called Memory Monitor as a better way to examine the memory usage of an iPhone app as Object Alloc doesn’t give an accurate picture of how much memory an app is actually using.
How can I launch Memory Monitor? I can’t find it in instruments. Is it a part of a separate tool I have to download?
Thanks! Nick.
The ‘Leaks’ Instruments template also monitors overall memory usage (and more.) The Activity Monitor application (/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app) may the be illusive ‘Memory Monitor.’ It has indications of real and virtual memory usage.
I’m not aware of any other tool explicitly called ‘Memory Monitor.’ If such an application exists, I can’t imagine what other data it would obtain that Activity Monitor and Instruments wouldn’t already be considering.
