Electron apps cannot be submitted to the Apple store

These numbers are too low. I assume that this task manager might show only private pages and not account shared pages with code (and the code size in Chrome is close to 100 Mb). Anyway, the number looks a bit unrealistic. Or maybe it doesn't count swap.

I used Electron apps on Linux and typically memory usage doesn't get below 250-500 Mb.

Here is an example for Skype: 220 Mb of swap + 388 Mb of PSS (Proportional set size).

Even that's low. Here's my result of running pmap on an open vscode process. "total 1046516K"

Yikes.

I would rather use smem, that calculates PSS (Potential Set Size) that properly accounts for pages shared between processes and shows swap usage per process. 1 Gb seems realistic though.

I manage to get these numbers with Sublime Text on a big project. Sublime Text is native.

It is partly written in Python, as well as plugins.

But it's not written in Electron, which is my point.
