React Native - Acceptable Amount of Memory Usage

Question

I have a basic react native app that uses React Native Maps to display the location markers (whose latitude & longitude is pulled from my API).

However, this app is using well over 200MB of memory on the iPhone 7 simulator. Is this normal? I've developed apps using Swift before and the memory usage was rarely ever over 100MB.

If I make a sample app, simply using this file they've provided in their examples, it's still using over 200MB of memory: Draggable Markers

Can you try profiling it with Xcode instruments? Does the memory usage stay constant or increase over time as you interact with it? That's a high level of memory usage, but if it doesn't keep growing forever, you're probably OK ... – Lynda
