iOS App Battery Usage

timmywex

Hey everyone,

Is there any way to test how much battery an app uses or whats the best way to do this? Any app or developer tool that gives usage/power consumption/memory usage or other similar figures? Something similar to the activity monitor on a mac essentially!

Ideally without leaving phone run unattended for hours obviously

Cheers,

If you go to the Xcode Menu->Open Developer Tools->Instruments there is an Energy Diagnostics instrument. There are also other instruments available for whatever you need.
