Programmatically retrieve memory usage on iPhone

Question

I\'m trying to retrieve the amount of memory my iPhone app is using at anytime, programmatically. Yes I\'m aware about ObjectAlloc/Leaks. I\'m not interested in those, only

Answer 1

Swift 3.1 (As of August 8, 2017)

func getMemory() {

    var taskInfo = mach_task_basic_info()
    var count = mach_msg_type_number_t(MemoryLayout.size)/4
    let kerr: kern_return_t = withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &taskInfo) {
        $0.withMemoryRebound(to: integer_t.self, capacity: 1) {
            task_info(mach_task_self_, task_flavor_t(MACH_TASK_BASIC_INFO), $0, &count)
        }
    }
    if kerr == KERN_SUCCESS {
        let usedMegabytes = taskInfo.resident_size/(1024*1024)
        print("used megabytes: \(usedMegabytes)")
    } else {
        print("Error with task_info(): " +
            (String(cString: mach_error_string(kerr), encoding: String.Encoding.ascii) ?? "unknown error"))
    }

}
