Using Xcode Instruments on hackintosh

Question

Using hackintosh (i7-4790K 4GHz, 16GB DDR3, GF980Ti) for developing on Xcode (both Swift and Objective-C) about an year, never get any errors. But now I need to use Instruments

Answer 1

It's a known problem with the recent nVidia macOS Web Drivers. Not just with XCode Instruments, it appears in iBooks, too when you open a book for read. People have reported this issue on the Apple Support Forums using Web Drivers on a genuine Mac - so it doesn't only affect Hackintosh PC's.

For a temporary fix: Enable your Intel HD4600 graphics in your i7-4790K. Make sure it's enabled in UEFI BIOS, and injected with Clover. See post #72 at the link above. Solved my issue with transparent window on my Hackintosh.

Another solution is to remove the nVidia graphics card and use Intel HD4600 only, but this way you lose the power of the GTX980Ti of course.

Update: I recommend Nax's solution, it's better in every aspect. However this codesign command doesn't work for transparent iBooks window. If you re-sign iBooks it will crash on launch.
