Can it help find memory leaks in iOS apps?

Yes, it offers expert guidance on identifying retain cycles, using weak references correctly, and leveraging Xcode Instruments' Leaks and Allocations tools.

How does this skill help with SwiftUI performance?

It provides specific implementation patterns for reducing view invalidations, caching heavy objects like DateFormatters, and using Equatable to prevent unnecessary body updates.

Does it provide strategies for app launch optimization?

Yes, it includes patterns for deferring non-essential work, utilizing lazy initialization, and moving heavy setup tasks to background threads.

Which Xcode Instruments does this skill cover?

It provides guidance for the Time Profiler, Allocations, Leaks, SwiftUI view update tracker, and Core Animation instruments to detect offscreen rendering and blending issues.

Mobile Development

Optimizes SwiftUI and Swift application performance through advanced profiling, memory management, and rendering efficiency patterns.

About

The swift-performance skill is a specialized tool designed to help developers diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks in iOS and Apple platform applications. It provides expert guidance on optimizing SwiftUI view hierarchies, implementing efficient lazy loading strategies, and preventing memory leaks using ARC best practices. By integrating Instruments profiling knowledge with modern Swift patterns like @Observable and Sendable, it enables developers to reduce app launch times, eliminate UI stutters, and ensure efficient resource utilization in production-grade Swift apps.
