Profiling
Diagnosing memory issues with the Xamarin profiler
5 minutes
The Xamarin profiler is a must-have tool for every Xamarin developer. The profiler comes with a Xamarin business or enterprise license and is available as a standalone installer at xamarin.com/profiler . To get started, make sure a debug version of your app is installed on a device or a simulator (works both for Android and iOS). Another way to start the profiler is to open the profiler via Run > Start Profiling in Xamarin Studio or Analyze > Xamarin Profiler in Visual Studio. Choose the Memory profiling template, make sure the correct app/activity is selected and press the red record button to start profiling.
