Can it help with Swift Concurrency issues?

Yes, it includes guidance for using the Swift Concurrency instrument to identify actor contention, task scheduling delays, and execution bottlenecks.

How do I detect data races with this skill?

The skill provides patterns for enabling and interpreting the Thread Sanitizer (TSAN) in Xcode and offers code-level fixes using Actors and Locks.

Does this skill work with the iOS Simulator?

While it provides commands for all environments, for accurate performance and GPU profiling, using a physical device is highly recommended as Simulator results can differ significantly.

What version of Xcode is required?

This skill is designed for modern development workflows and specifically mentions support for Xcode 16+ features and current Swift performance APIs.

Mobile Development

Optimizes iOS application performance using Xcode Instruments, memory debugging tools, and production-ready optimization patterns.

Acerca de

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for diagnosing and resolving performance bottlenecks in iOS applications. It covers essential Xcode Instruments templates such as Time Profiler, Allocations, and Leaks, while offering detailed case studies for SwiftUI scroll optimization and app launch acceleration. By implementing advanced debugging techniques with Address (ASAN) and Thread Sanitizers (TSAN), developers can identify memory leaks, data races, and UI hangs. Whether you are aiming for a smooth 60 FPS or reducing cold-start times, this skill provides the specific commands and code patterns required for high-performance Apple platform development.
