I've been using GMS Beta for now, and trying to measure fps by using the built in global var - fps. It just returns 0.
in Draw Event i have a simple code

...
draw_text('FPS' + string(fps));
...

and it just shows

FPS : 0

What went wrong? Can anyone explain?

Note : The line is NOT the only code in draw event, there's other code too.

Not sure what's wrong with the this piece of code. But I've read that you should fix your game to use 30 or 60 fps only for iOS applications.

There is something wrong with that code. In Studio, you should you use a high resoultion timer instead.

I'm using my own script to measure FPS on iDevices:

lastTime = 0;
frames = 0;
timeNow = 0;

frames += 1;
timeNow = current_second;

       if (timeNow > lastTime) 
       {
       fps_str = string(frames);
       frames = 0;
       lastTime = timeNow;
       }

draw_text(10, 20, 'FPS: '+fps_str);
