In the context of debugging and development, "glitches" typically refer to unexpected behaviors or bugs in the software that cause it to function incorrectly. These can be due to various reasons such as misconfigured components, memory issues, or incorrect transformations in a 3D scene.
For example, in the session Break into the RealityKit debugger, common bugs in RealityKit apps are discussed, including issues with entity hierarchies and transformations that can lead to unexpected behaviors. The RealityKit debugger is introduced as a tool to help catch and fix these bugs.
Similarly, in the session Analyze heap memory, memory spikes are discussed as a type of transient memory growth that can cause performance issues and even app termination.
These sessions provide tools and techniques to identify and resolve such glitches, ensuring a smoother and more reliable app performance.
