Instruments and performance profiling

Instruments profiles iOS apps to identify performance bottlenecks, memory leaks, and energy issues. The Time Profiler instrument samples the call stack to show which functions consume CPU time. Allocations tracks memory usage and finds leaks by identifying unreleased objects. Leaks instrument specifically detects retain cycles. I use the SwiftUI View Body instrument to find expensive view updates. Network instrument monitors requests and responses. Energy Log shows battery impact. For debugging, I set strategic breakpoints and use print statements sparingly. The Visual Memory Debugger displays object graphs to spot retain cycles. Running instruments regularly catches regressions before they reach users.
