Memory management, profiling, optimization techniques, and Instruments usage for high-performance iOS apps.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# iOS Performance Optimization

Comprehensive guide to building high-performance iOS applications with proper memory management, profiling, and optimization techniques.

## Memory Management

### ARC (Automatic Reference Counting)

#### Strong vs Weak vs Unowned

```swift
// STRONG (default) - Increases retain count
class Parent {
    var child: Child?  // Strong reference
}

// WEAK - Does NOT increase retain count, becomes nil when deallocated
class Child {
    weak var parent: Parent?  // Weak to prevent retain cycle
}

// UNOWNED - Does NOT increase retain count, crashes if accessed after deallocation
class Customer {
    let card: CreditCard  // Customer owns the card

    init() {
        card = CreditCard(holder: self)
    }
}

class CreditCard {
    unowned let holder: Customer  // Card always has a holder
}
```

#### When to Use Each

| Reference Type | Use When | Risk |
|---------------|----------|------|
| `strong` | Object should stay alive | Retain cycles |
| `weak` | Optional reference, may become nil | None |
| `unowned` | Non-optional, same or longer lifetime | Crash if wrong |

### Retain Cycle Detection

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jordancoin/ios-skills-collection/iOS Performance@sha256:6cc69d20bd46ca15

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
