3. Configuration File: Create a new txt file named "ue4commandline.txt" and add "-tracehost=(local ipv4 address) -trace=cpu, frame -cpuprofilertrace". 

To check your ipv4 address, open the command line window and enter ipconfig on Windows or ifconfig on Mac OS. Next, copy the configuration file to your UE application.

a. On Windows: Open iTunes, select your device, choose file sharing, and place the configuration file in the appropriate location.

b. On MacOS: Open Finder, select your iOS device, click on the file tab, and copy the configuration file to the application directory to be tested.

4. PerfDog Testing: Open the PerfDog client, initialize your device, click on the application list, enable the in-depth analysis button, select Unreal mode, and start testing your application.
