Now in this pot we will see the basic concepts and steps to perform the client side profiling of Mobile App
Below techniques can be used:

2) Connect Your Mobile(having debugged app) with system
3) Logs are started in front of you
4) Apply filter based on the process id
5) Copy -paste the logs in excel & delimite to find the elapsed time and queries
6) Report these slow running/duplicate queries and time to developers
