- **UIKit Init**: from pre main initializers to the when starting the Sentry Cocoa SDK.
- **Application Init**: this reflects the duration of your AppDelegate `application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions` method or [App conformer's initializer](<https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/app/main()>) when using SwiftUI, which is from when starting the Cocoa SDK to the [`didFinishLaunchingNotification`][didfinishlaunching].
- **Initial Frame Render**: from the [`didFinishLaunchingNotification`][didfinishlaunching] until the app renders its first frame. **Starting with version 9.0.0, this is the default behavior.** In versions prior to 9.0.0, this measured until [`UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification`][uiwindow] unless you enabled the `enablePerformanceV2` option.
- **Initial Frame Render**: from the [`didFinishLaunchingNotification`][didfinishlaunching] until the first CADisplayLink callback. **Starting with version 9.0.0, this is the default behavior.** In versions prior to 9.0.0, this measured until [`UIWindowDidBecomeVisibleNotification`][uiwindow] unless you enabled the `enablePerformanceV2` option.
