Find Flutter Memory Leaks with DevTools
Source: docs.flutter.devintermediate
Think of the DevTools Memory view as an MRI for your app's RAM. It helps you find objects that aren't being garbage collected, diagnose bloat, and fix crashes.
The DevTools Memory view is your primary tool for diagnosing RAM issues in a Flutter app. It provides a live chart of memory usage and lets you capture heap snapshots to analyze every object. Use it to hunt down memory leaks, like undisposed listeners, or to optimize screens that use too much memory. The main footgun is confusing an object's own size with the total memory it keeps alive, leading to wasted effort.
