For iOS: Monitor memory using Instruments.
First of all, great plugin! It's simple to use and effective. I'm just having an issue with my memory usage. My app's heap allocations are relatively small and under control, but I have problems with the "Anonymous VM" size over time, which can go into the gigabyte range when using the image-picker plugin often in one session (eventually leading to a crash).
When I load one HD image using the plugin, the Anonymous VM memory goes up by 250MB! I then run Simulate Memory Warning, but the allocation size barely goes down (see attached photo). A 4000x4000px 32bit colour bitmap isn't even 200MB, and my images are significantly smaller in dimension than that. Do you know why so much memory is being allocated without being released?
I have attached an image showing what happens when I load 1 photo (massive jump), followed by running "Simulate Memory Warning" (small dip). As shown in the table, CG Raster Data makes up almost all of the anonymous VM size. It is worth adding that when I load a new image from the plugin, sometimes a portion of the memory is released, but most times there is a growth.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
