Xamarin Android Memory Consumption Grows Infinitely After Usage Hits A Certain Threshold

I have an Xamarin android application and it seems as though when the memory usage of the app hits a certain threshold 140mb to 160mb the app will rapidly start taking up more memo

Solution 1:

Although Xamarin profiler is still in preview it helped me a lot tracking down memory issues we had in our application. Reading your last comment i can confirm Xamarin Insights (v1.10.1) has a significant huge memory signature (and might even leak). After we removed it from our code - the app was behaving super fast!

Bottom line - use the profiler to identify memory issues and if you have Xamarin Insights used in your app - i suggest to remove it until further notice.
