iPhone memory leak monitoring when not hooked up to a computer

Question

I have an application that needs to be unplugged from the computer to use (it is interfacing with a device through the port) so I don't think using Instruments will work. Is there any way to monitor memory allocations/leaks without the iPhone being attached to the computer? Thanks.

Answer 1

You could use a jailbroken iOS device and analyze the app with the command line tool leaks. But that's not really a sweet solution.

Answer 2

Have you tried using Build and Analyze within Xcode? That will likely show many of your leaks without even needing to run the application.

Answer 3

You should be able to use Instruments via WiFi instead of USB. See here. I never tried it, but it's a supported feature.
