How to use Time Profiler to check memory consumption?

When trying to test my app I don't see any useful information about what causes memory consumption in my code.

I had choose as a target (upper left in the Time Profiler window) the physical iPhone device and my app.
I made a profiling build inside Xcode (Product -> Build For -> Profiling), but when I start record I can see only this:

Is there something else I should do ? I am using Xcode 7.2

Solution

  • To inspect memory usage you can use XCode built in memory tool (the 6th icon in XCode Navigator), or use Allocations instrument for more detailed report. Info about Allocations is here.
    With Time Profiler you can measure usage CPU time, not memory consumption.
