5 Memory Bloopers Every iPhone application developer Must Know

There is no doubt that Apple iOS is the forerunner of touchscreen industry. Despite of the fact that Android possesses over 80% of the total market share, the iOS applications are still able to generate remarkably greater ROI as compared to any other platform.

The iOS app has amazing evolved as a great companion in this advanced mobile age. While Apple is consistently striving to deliver an outstanding product in the market with each iPhone iteration and other products, it is essential to keep the common memory errors at bay.

This article will provide you a few of the frequent goofs that are often committed by the novice iOS developers. For every iPhone app development company, it is advisable to go through these thoroughly and try to avoid them while developing iOS apps. Lets have a glimpse into them.

1. The persistent stores are often created on the top of a specific object model. Now if the persistent store is not kept updated with the latest structure of the model, you won't be able to access the store anymore. Moreover, if your consumers keep using the store which is based on a model without versioning, there is a great chance that your app will crash. And, to ensure a smooth working of the model migration process, it is essential to insert a model version prior editing the model.
2. If an appropriate dealloc method is not invoked in each class, the memory management issues can arise during an iPhone app development. Moreover, it is also essential to call super dealloc method from a dealloc method. Without calling super dealloc method in a dealloc method, you won't be able to call any dealloc method. This may create severe issues while developing iOS apps like memory crash. Thus, it is recommended to appropriately call a suitable super dealloc method via a dealloc method, and ensure a smooth iOS app development.
3. The advanced iOS debugging tools are powerful enough to deliver an outstanding performance. You may use the robust debugging tools including MallocStackLogging, NSDebugEnabled, and so forth to efficiently identify the issues for crash and more. Thus, going through these proficient debugging commands could be highly beneficial for efficient and effective iOS app development.
4. While debugging an application, the NSLog statements play a crucial role. However, overusing this statement can even create bottlenecks in your app performance. Since, whenever this statement is implemented additional memory is consumed, thus running it several times will certainly consume more and more memory, eventually ending up with memory errors. Therefore, it is better to make minimal use of this statement and bypass it when it is not required.

5. The model design is quite crucial for every iPhone mobile application developer. While integrating a managed object and bringing it into a context, basically its entire data is fetched into the memory. Including large images, or heavy file could create a severe memory management gaffe. Thus, to incorporate a bulky media file, it is advisable to split the attribute that are going to carry the large values into a related entity. However, for showcasing the images in a tabular format, it is better to go with auto-generated thumbnail images.

These are a few of the common iPhone application development errors that causes memory management issues. It is recommended to keep these in mind and ensure a bug-free smooth application.
