instruments

I have just updated from 4.2 to Xcode 4.3 and "Instruments" is no longer there. I tried to run it from Launchpad but was informed that this is not possible because Instruments is in the trash bin. Xcode 4.3 uninstalled 4.2 but it seems it did not bother installing a new version of Instruments. sch You can launch Instruments from within Xcode. It is no longer in the /Developer folder but in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer . From the menu bar, choose Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Instruments . If your goal to profile your code with Instruments after all, choose menu "profile" from

I am creating an iPhone app. Running into memory issues I started using Instruments to track down any memory problems. Am running into some strange behavior that leads me to believe that I am either mis-using Instruments or mis-reading its data. These are the LiveBytes values recorded when moving in and out of a location: **Expensive Location-** World (12 MB) Loc (27 MB) World (13 MB ) Loc (28 MB) World (14 MB) -Crash **Cheap Location-** World (12 MB) Loc (23 MB) World (13 MB ) Loc (24 MB) World (14 MB) -Crash Notice how I still crash even though the cheap location's memory has come no where

I'm working on an IPad app and have been profiling it using Instruments in XCode 4. I'm profiling on the actual device itself. iOS 4.3 is installed. Instruments tells me I have some memory leaks, the leaked objects being mainly GeneralBlock-56 ones and some GeneralBlock-1024 / GeneralBlock-8192 ones. The interesting thing is that these leaks are reported only when I load up a URL in a UIWebView embedded in my app. If I comment out the loadRequest call, these leaks go away. This behavior is consistently reproducible. The loadRequest() calls looks like this: [webPage loadRequest:[NSURLRequest

I'm trying to use Instruments to look at resource usage in my Monotouch app. However, I can't get the app to launch through Instruments. When I hit the record button in Instruments, the app launches on my iPhone, buzzes (signifying it's a debug build), then crashes - and Instruments reports: Target failed to run: Remote exception encountered : 'Failed to get task for pid 384' The app runs fine when I launch it directly on the phone. I've tried it with debug builds and ad hoc builds (using the parameters defined on the Monotouch support page ). Always the same. I'm using Monotouch 3.2.5, iOS 4

Instruments can visualize retain cycles under ARC in a graphically interesting way. I also remember that a few days ago I spotted the "Cycles" view in Instruments by accident. Now where I started using ARC, suddenly I'm not able to find that anymore. The Allocations and VM Tracker instruments don't offer it, and the Leaks instrument either. What must I do in order to see retain cycles? Found a screenshot as evidence: Using Xcode 4.2.1, I found the it in "Leaks", under "Cycles & Roots". However, I've found it less than useful when using ARC. It does detect CF leaks and apparently I'm leaking a
