SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires leaks, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Capture and inspect iOS memory leaks and memgraphs to diagnose retain cycles, growth, and unexpected object lifetimes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Memgraph capture from a running iOS simulator process using the provided shell script.
  • Leak data summarization and analysis with the Python utilities.
  • Ownership path inspection through trace trees and grouped leak outputs, enabling root-cause investigation.
  • Reproduce fixes by recapturing and validating results on the same simulator.

Quick Start

Run the provided capture script to generate a memgraph from a running simulator and then summarize leaks with the Python utility.

Frequently Asked Questions about ios-memgraph-leaks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I diagnose iOS memory leaks in a simulator?▼

You can identify retain cycles by capturing a memgraph from a running iOS simulator and analyzing the grouped leak outputs to inspect object ownership paths and trace trees for root-cause investigation.

What's the best way to capture a memgraph for leak analysis on an iOS app?▼

The best way to capture a memgraph for leak analysis is running the provided shell script, which handles simulator targeting, app bundle identification, and output organization to extract memory state from a running process.

Do I need the leaks command line tool to analyze iOS retain cycles?▼

Yes, the leaks command line tool is a required dependency for this workflow, providing the underlying mechanism to capture memgraphs and summarize leak data for detecting retain cycles and unexpected object lifetimes.

Can I validate a retain cycle fix by recapturing a memgraph on the same simulator?▼

Yes, you can reproduce and validate fixes by recapturing memgraphs on the same iOS simulator, allowing you to compare summarized leak reports and confirm that the memory leaks and retain cycles have been resolved.
