I've tried to run Instruments' Allocations profiler on my tiny app written with Xamarin.Forms in the iOS simulator, and this is the memory graph that I got. The simulator freezes after having the profiling on for about 30 seconds, so I couldn't record this over a longer period of time (doesn't matter which page I'm on).
I'm not doing anything fancy, I don't even have a custom renderer, just a few pages with ListViews, Buttons, and Labels and occasionally an image. I've also heard from other people that Xamarin.Forms is basically leaking every Page, but I'm not sure if that is true.
I guess this comes down to two questions ... what could possibly cause this? Is it a bug in Xamarin.Forms? And what could be causing the simulator freeze while profiling?
