xamarin.forms know memory usage both for android and ios

I am trying to develop android and iOS application using xamarin.forms. And already completed the main part that includes Canvas drawing. For that, I have used Skiasharp, to perform operations on bitmap images.

Now, in android, 1. If I try to dispose bitmaps that I initialized before I get SIGSEGV fatal error. (I think this issue is not OS specific) 2. When I continuously run my app for 20-22 minutes, app crashes suddenly.

And in iOS, my iphone gets hanged when I run my app for long time. And it doesn't start until I uninstall app from iFunBox in my pc.

I wanted to ask if there are ways in xamarin.forms or in native projects to find out where my memory is leaking. How can I know how much memory of RAM is actually being used at the moment ?

Thank you

For Android, you can use the Android Debug Monitor tool. This is a tool that is installed as part of the Android SDK.

Below is the URL for more information:

For iOS, you can try to use the native XCode Instrument.

Below is the URL for more information:

Also, Below is a useful article that talk about Xamarin.Forms Memory management. Hopefully it will be helpful.
