Standards for Instruments, Memory Management, and Optimization. Use when profiling iOS apps with Instruments or optimizing memory and rendering. (triggers: **/*.swift, Instruments, Allocations, Leaks, dequeueReusableCell)

iOS Performance Standards

Priority: P0

Implementation Guidelines

Diagnostic Tools

  • Instruments: Regularly use Allocations and Leaks to detect memory issues.
  • Time Profiler: Identify heavy CPU tasks and Main Thread stalls.
  • Network instrument: Analyze request payload sizes and frequency.

Optimization

  • Table/Collection Views: Always use dequeueReusableCell and keep cellForRowAt logic lightweight.
  • Image Caching: Use SDWebImage or Kingfisher for remote assets to prevent redundant fetching and main-thread decoding. (Note: AsyncImage lacks built-in caching; prioritize third-party for lists).
  • Background threads: Offload expensive work (parsing, encryption) from the Main thread using GCD or Tasks.

Diagnostics

  • Compiler Warnings: Enable SWIFT_TREAT_WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS in Release builds.
  • Static Analyzer: Use Xcode's "Analyze" (Product > Analyze) to find logic errors.

Anti-Patterns

  • CPU work on Main Thread: **No parsing/processing on Main**: Use background thread.
  • Force Cache Flushes: **No redundant cache clears**: Let the system handle low-memory warnings via AppDelegate.
  • Retain Cycles: **Check for cycles in Instruments**: Use the Leaks instrument frequently.
