In one project, I faced a bug where the app would crash intermittently without clear patterns. After thorough debugging, I discovered it was caused by a memory leak from improper handling of object references. I refactored the code by implementing proper memory management techniques, such as closing unused resources and eliminating unnecessary object persistence. This resolved the issue, improving the app’s performance and stability.
