iOS App Battery Usage

timmywex · 2013-02-04 19:58:17

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…

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.
