Is there a way to remove the authorization prompt from command-line instances of Instruments (Xcode)?

Question

I am currently using Instruments via a bash script to initiate the command-line interface to start up runs of the Automation plug-in.

With 4.2, this worked well en

Answer 1

I partially solved this issue. I run instruments from command line and have authorization prompt in GUI (once per session) + this in console (each time I run instruments):

Instruments: Instruments wants permission to analyze other processes.
Type your password to allow this.
Name ([my-username]):
Password:

Failed to authorize rights (0x20) with status: -60007.
2012-02-28 10:04:19.607 instruments[60398:1203] Failed to connect to
local pid watcher service: (os/kern) failure

I compared /etc/authorization file before and after upgrading to xCode 4.3. Apple replaced two keys:

com.apple.dt.instruments.process.analysis
com.apple.dt.instruments.process.kill

with

com.apple.instruments.process.analysis

I edited /etc/authorization, added missing keys below new one and issue from console is solved. Unfortunately GUI prompt is still there.

Mising keys:

com.apple.dt.instruments.process.analysis

    allow-root
    
    class
    user
    comment
    Rights for Instruments
    group
    admin
    shared
    
    timeout
    36000
    
com.apple.dt.instruments.process.kill

    allow-root
    
    class
    user
    comment
    Rights for Instruments
    group
    admin
    shared
    
    timeout

Hope this will point you to solve whole issue
