Optimizes iOS app performance and detects memory leaks using Xcode Instruments command-line tools.
This skill empowers Claude to automate and guide the complex process of iOS performance profiling using xctrace and simctl utilities. It provides structured workflows for identifying CPU hotspots, memory leaks, and slow app launch times by enforcing critical best practices such as using device UUIDs over ambiguous names, ensuring clean installation states, and recording in Release mode. It is an essential tool for mobile developers who want to integrate performance auditing into their development cycle or troubleshoot specific UI hitches and resource bottlenecks directly from the terminal.
