Xcode frame debugger Unity integration

The Xcode frame debugger tool lets you capture a frame of your application to see the commands that the GPU performed during that frame, examine data in GPU memory, and identify bottlenecks in your shaders. This lets you analyze GPU performance in fine detail.

Unity integrates with the Xcode frame debugger in the following ways:

  • On macOS, iOS, and tvOS, you can use Xcode frame debugger to analyze frames from your application while it’s running on the target device.
  • 在 macOS 上,您可以使用 Xcode 帧调试器从 Unity 编辑器分析帧。

Frame debugging only works if the application is running on a platform and graphics API that Xcode supports. Xcode only supports macOS with Metal graphics. If Unity uses another API, the Xcode integration is disabled until you select a supported graphics API.

从应用程序捕获帧

To use the Xcode frame debugger to capture a frame from do one of the following:

  • Launch your application from Xcode and either use the Xcode UI or the FrameCapture API to request frame captures. You can analyze the frame captures in Xcode immediately, or save them to disk. This workflow is supported on all platforms that use Metal.
  • Launch your application directly from the command line without an Xcode project, and use the FrameCapture API to save frame captures to disk. Note: This workflow isn’t supported on iOS.

使用 Xcode 从应用程序捕获帧

This section describes how to launch your application and perform a frame capture using the Xcode UI or the FrameCapture API. This workflow is supported on all platforms that use Metal.

1. Create an Xcode project.

You can either create an Xcode project from the Unity Editor, or use any other Xcode project to launch macOS applications.

To build an Xcode project from the Unity Editor:

  1. Open the Build Settings window (File > Build Settings).
  2. macOS only: Enable Create Xcode Project.
  3. Click Build.

To use another Xcode project to launch macOS applications:

  1. In Xcode, create a new, empty macOS project, or open an existing macOS project.
  2. Go to Product > Scheme > Edit scheme, and open the Info tab.
  3. Executable 设置为构建的 Unity 应用程序。

2. Edit the Xcode project scheme so that you can perform frame captures.

Either, use the Xcode GUI. To do this, follow the Enabling Frame Capture guide in the Xcode documentation to set your project scheme’s GPU Frame Capture setting to Metal.

You can also use the XcScheme API to configure an Xcode project scheme, which is useful for automated builds. For more information, see the XcScheme API documentation.

3. Launch your project from Xcode, and perform a frame capture.

In Xcode, press the Frame Capture button (camera icon) to capture the next frame of data.

You can also use the FrameCapture API to perform a frame capture from a script. For information on analyzing frame capture data in Xcode, see the Xcode frame debugger documentation.

使用命令行从应用程序捕获帧

This section describes how to launch your application from the command line, perform a frame capture using the FrameCapture API, and save the results to disk. Important: This workflow isn’t supported on iOS. To perform frame captures on iOS, you must always launch your application from Xcode.

  1. Add calls to FrameCapture.BeginCaptureToFile and EndCapture to your code, so that you can perform frame captures as required.
  2. Launch your application from the command line, with the following flag: -enable-metal-capture. Xcode performs frame captures when your code requests them, and saves the results to disk.

For information on how to analyze this data in Xcode, see Apple’s Xcode frame debugger documentation.

从 Unity 编辑器捕获帧

在 macOS 上,您可以使用 Xcode 帧调试器从 Unity 编辑器分析帧。如果使用 Xcode 启动 Unity 编辑器,则可以从 Unity 编辑器 UI 请求进行帧捕获。

使用 Xcode 从 Unity 编辑器捕获帧

This section describes how to launch the Unity Editor from Xcode and perform a frame capture using the Unity Editor UI, the Xcode UI, or the FrameCapture API. You can analyze the frame capture immediately, or save the results to disk. This workflow is supported on macOS.

  1. If the Unity Editor is open, close it.
  2. In Xcode, create a new, empty macOS project, or open an existing macOS project.
  3. Go to Product > Scheme > Edit scheme, and open the Info tab.
  4. Set Executable to the Unity Editor.
  5. Follow the Enabling Frame Capture guide in the Xcode documentation to set your project scheme’s GPU Frame Capture setting to Metal.
  6. Run the Xcode project to launch the Unity Editor.
  7. Perform a frame capture, either via the Unity Editor UI, the Xcode UI, or via a script:
    • Unity Editor: Use the Xcode Capture button to the right of the Scene view or Game view to perform a frame capture.
    • Xcode: Select the Frame Capture button (camera icon) to capture the next frame of data.
    • Script: Use the FrameCapture API. For more information, see the FrameCapture API documentation.

For information on analyzing frame capture data in Xcode, see Apple’s Xcode frame debugger documentation.
