Spotting memory leaks and crashes in production

A hiring manager asks: "How do you find out there's a memory leak in an app that's already shipped, not one you're developing?" Answer separately for local tools and production signals.

How would an interviewer hear this answer? You'll see whether they'd move on, dig in, or say no, and which sentences would trip you up. Your score doesn't change.

In production you suspect a leak when the MetricKit memory metric climbs with session length or Organizer's memory limit terminations rise in one version, then confirm it locally with the Memory Graph and Leaks.
