  @SaladStraightShooter - Great news, a quick question though - if we're not updating the creator, when testing on device using the creator/viewer will we still see memory climbing high (and in my case leading to a crash) even though the published app won't ramp up memory in the same way?

  The viewer/Creator are never a good indication of memory use as they include processes wholly unrelated to your app. Adhoc to get the best results.

  Why do you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.

  I stopped using the viewer entirely because of this about a year ago. I use the creator preview to do quick code checks, and do daily adhoc builds to test device functionality.

  I haven't seen any tools to check memory usage in adhoc... Any suggestions?

  @DanielDoe I've been hearing you can use Instruments to check it, but i'm still uncertain as to the process since we don't build our games with Xcode. maybe someone can clarify? @CodeWizard @CodeMonkey

  You should be able to use instruments to attach to a running process. I'm not on my Mac to get a screenshot, but you should be able to figure that out. *fingers crossed*

  @uptimistik
  1) Use web publishing to sign you iPhone or iPad app and install on your device.
  2) Next open Instruments (use spotlight to find it).
  3) Once open double click Allocations, and choose you game under choose targets.
  4) Click the record button.
  then play your game and watch the graph and object summary
  
  edit: Also adding the Activity Monitor instrument and going to trace highlights can help show memory overall memory usage in a pie chart form. You can add it by dragging it out of the library (see button next to view buttons).

  Yep that's what I use. Xcode has great tools wish we had a library so we could translate code errors into GS.

  OOOOoo baby! is this likely to lower crashes on older devices? (i know you can't guarantee cause it depends on the code, but assuming the code is good i mean) I have had few people who were getting crashes on HEAVY sword with iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4th gen. I myself have a normal old iPhone 4 but can't seem to get it to crash on my phone, thus it's tricky to know just what I should optimize.

  @ashtmj - I believe that was the goal of lowering the memory usage. So most likely yes.

  @ashtmj it's possible, but some of the crash fixes are slated for 10.2c tentatively for next week.

  Also as to Xcode instruments if you want to see your FPS just use the core animation module.
