Use iprofiler on iOS app

Question

Can I use iprofiler on a iOS application for testing for memory leaks on an app using command line?

Does not matter if it is on the iOS simulator or directly on a iOS device.

Answer 1

Not sure about iprofiler, but you can use instruments to profile from command line and target different hardware devices. For instance, if you want to profile for leaks use the "Leaks" template like so:

  instruments -t "Leaks" -w your_device_uuid YourAppName.app

To see all available templates and device uuid's run:

instruments -s
