gradlew assembleRelease if you have properly configured signing in the build file. You can do that in Android Studio by going to the menu Build -> Generate Signed APK. wrap.sh can be done by adding the script below in app/adle. You can do that in Android Studio by going to the menu Build -> Generate Signed APK.

wrap.sh runs the app without passing any debug flags to ART, so the app runs as a release app. Step 2: Add wrap.sh in lib/ arch directories. If you are on Android >= O, we can use wrap.sh to profile a release build: Step 1: Add android::debuggable=“true” in AndroidManifest.xml to enable profiling. In this case, simpleperf downloaded by adb will invoke simpleperf preinstalled in system image to profile the app. If you are on Android >= Q, you can add profileableFromShell flag in AndroidManifest.xml, this makes a released app profileable by preinstalled profiling tools. So simpleperf can only profile a release build under these three circumstances: If you are on a rooted device, you can profile any app. However, security restrictions mean that only apps with android::debuggable set to true can be profiled. If you want to profile a release build of an application:įor the release build type, Android studio sets android::debuggable=“false” in AndroidManifest.xml, disables JNI checks and optimizes C/C++ code.It can be profiled by simpleperf without any change. If you want to profile a debug build of an application:įor the debug build type, Android studio sets android::debuggable=“true” in AndroidManifest.xml, enables JNI checks and may not optimize C/C++ code.Record both on CPU time and off CPU timeīased on the profiling situation, we may need to customize the build script to generate an apk file specifically for profiling.
