I feel like I don't understand something fundamental here. I've been working on memory management in my app while using Instruments to check out live allocations. I have a modal view controller (settingsViewController) that has an image for a background. One thing I noticed was that even after settingsViewController dealloc is called,...
I work with OpenAL to play sounds in my app. When I test it using Instruments tool, it finds a leak: LeakedObject = GeneralBlock-512 Size = 512 Bytes Responsible Library = AudioToolbox Responsible Frame = AU3DMixerEmbeddedInputElement::Initialize() Stack trace: 0 libSystem.B.dylib malloc 1 libstdc++.6.dylib operator new(unsi...
I've just kind of been 'winging' it with long tests (for hours) with no crashes, and eyeballing my code for quite a while and made sure that everything looks pretty kosher as far as memory leaks. But should I be using instruments... is it mandatory to do this before uploading to app store? ...
Hi, I'd like to use instruments to verify is my program doesn't have any memory leaks. Can you please provide me with some resources or tips that helped you as you were trying to figure this out? Maybe some video screencasts, or something. This program is pretty complicated and I'm not too familiar with such low level profiling utils ...
I have a simple function that should check if the view is at the home interface, and if not, bring it to the home: function returnHome() { if (UIATarget.localTarget().frontMostApp().navigationBar().name() == mainTitle) return true; // set tab bar to calculations UIALogger.logMessage("Set tab bar to main."); if (UIATarge...

My iPhone app tends to 'freeze up' the UI when comes into the active state from the background. How can I use Instruments to find out the cause of the freeze? What instrument should I use? What are the key columns I need to look at in the Instruments panel? ...
Hi all, I'm checking memory leaks in my apps using Instruments Leaks tool. After fixing all leaks whose responsible library is my app. I figure out that there still have a lot of leaks whose responsible libraries are iOS's framworks, based on what Instruments said?

Using the Allocations Instrument on my Iphone Device, I notice in my heapshots that all my heap growth is caused by the _dyld_start caller (of dyld library). Here is an example: Snapshot: UIImageView Heap Growth: 4.83 Kb Still Alive: 103 When I look in the details, all I see is several instances of the following: Object Add: xxxx C...
Hi, I'm writing some automation .js file, and I need to tap one of my accessoryButton from one cell. How can I send the tap message to it ? This is a custom cell, but the accessoryButton is added by iOS, not by me, and I don't know wich name it has. Also in the docs I couldn't find anything ... I have the cell referenced correcly as...
I have seen that my app crashes when used with the Allocation Instrument. When looking at the device logs, I can tell that it is a 'Low memory' crash. My app process in addition to others used by my app were jettisoned. Here is how the device logs look: MyAPP <09da004ccd82e7a2c54e0ea6ab4eab24> 1990 (jettisoned) (active) MobilePhon...
