How to get network usage for an app?

[khrithik96]

Tried network_process. It should give data from the network debug gauge but it is consistently giving same value(sometimes this value is 0) every time.

Trying to use this service com.apple.instruments.server.services.networking using the code https://github.com/YueChen-C/py-ios-device/blob/c50edc5cee9bd0fac84208812a76b10f72748821/ios_device/py_ios_device.py#L304. Steps(Python code):

_rpc_channel = init(device_id)
def _callback(res):
    api_util.network_caller(res, callback)
_rpc_channel.register_channel_callback("com.apple.instruments.server.services.networking", _callback)
with InstrumentsBase(udid=device_id) as rpc:
    pid = rpc.get_pid(bundle_id=bundle_id)
_rpc_channel.call("com.apple.instruments.server.services.networking", "setTargetPID:", pid)
_rpc_channel.call("com.apple.instruments.server.services.networking", "startMonitoring")

Trying to set the target process id here. Ref: https://github.com/YueChen-C/py-ios-device/blob/c50edc5cee9bd0fac84208812a76b10f72748821/ios_device/util/variables.py#L74

The line _rpc_channel.call("com.apple.instruments.server.services.networking", "setTargetPID:", pid) is timing out.

Is there any way we can get an apps network usage?

Try pid string or RawObj(pid)

[khrithik96]

sending pid as a string fixed the timeout issue _rpc_channel.call("com.apple.instruments.server.services.networking", "setTargetPID:", pid).

But it looks like it is giving the data at the device level.

You can also try to use com.apple.xcode.debug-gauge-data-providers.NetworkStatistics service. Refer to demo netstatPID.py

com.apple.xcode.debug-gauge-data-providers.NetworkStatistics is working fine(In some cases, it gives 0 values).

Thanks.
