Is there a way to see how much memory my app will take up while it's in the simulator?

I'm designing an iPhone application and writing a paper on it. I was wondering how I can see how much virtual/real memory my application will take in the iPhone. I am currently running it in the simulator.

No, this cannot be done accurately. You can get consistently good values for most of the APIs you use using the Allocations instrument, but there are differences in execution environments which make exact figures impossible.

Yes, you want to Profile you app. In Xcode, hold down the "Run" button and select Profile. A window should pop up asking you to select an Instrument to profile your app with. For memory usage, you can analyze your apps using either Allocations or Leaks. I would do some googling for instructions on how to use these two instruments.
