The Time Profiler in Xcode is a powerful tool for diagnosing performance issues in your app. It visualizes CPU usage and helps measure how long different parts of your code take to execute. In the session titled "What’s new in Xcode 16," the Time Profiler is discussed in the context of using the new flame graph feature to analyze performance issues. The flame graph provides a high-level overview of trace execution, allowing developers to spot issues quickly by visualizing code execution intervals weighted by the percentage of time they took in the trace.
For more details, you can refer to the session What’s new in Xcode 16 (19:44) where the flame graph and its benefits are discussed.
