instruments

I'm running XCode 3.2 on Snow Leopard and I'm trying to run the Zombies instrument against my app but the selection is grayed out and I don't know why. I know about the NSZombieEnabled environment variable. I have that set to YES on my application. I'm not sure if this matters, but, the app is an app that I started developing on Leopard with the previous version of XCode. Here is a screenshot of what my menu looks like: You need to launch the Instruments application with the Zombies instrument from outside of XCode This is how you can do it: The Instruments application is usually located

I have an iOS(7.1) app which crashes due to EXC_BAD_ACCESS . If I am not wrong, this happens due to the use of an object which is already de-allocated. After a bit of searching, I found out that enabling Zombie objects help to pin point the line of error. As I am using xcode 5.1.1, I have done the following to Enable Zombie Objects . And then, checking the Enable Zombie Objects checkbox, Then I went to Instruments panel, selected Zombies ,clicked Profile and got this, Now the simulator (in the left background), which had a button and a textfield is running blank and also I can't understand

I am runung Instruments on an iPhone 4S. I am using AVAudioPlayer inside this method: -(void)playSound{ NSURL *url = [self.word soundURL]; NSError *error; audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&error]; if (!error) { [audioPlayer prepareToPlay]; [audioPlayer play]; }else{ NSLog(@"Problem With audioPlayer on general card. error : %@ | url %@",[error description],[url absoluteString]); } I am getting leaks when playing the sound files: Leaked objects: 1. Object : NSURL Responsible Library : Foundation Responsable Frame : Foundation -[NSURL(NSURL) allocWithZone:] 2.

I have all my code signing entitlements set correctly. Running the app on my phone is fine, but launching it in instruments gives me an error message: Error Starting Recording At least one target failed to launch; aborting run And then: Target failed to run. Permisson to debug [app name] was denied. The app must be signed with a development identity (i.e. iOS Developer) Any ideas how I could stop this from happening? Doesn't happen on my iPad. Edit the scheme for your target and under "Profile [App Name]" set the Build Configuration to Debug (it's usually Release by default). Zoltán Matók It

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 enough, however with the upgrade to Xcode 4.3, I am now being prompted for an authorized user to 'analyze other processes'. No user is ever actually authenticated, even if the correct credentials are granted. I get the following error: Failed to authorize rights (0x20) with status: -60007. 2012-02-27 19:30:37.232 instruments[54151:1c03] Failed to connect to local pid watcher service: (os/kern) failure Even with the authentication

I'm using Instument's ObjectAlloc tool in an attempt to understand what the memory my application (iPhone) is doing and when and where it is doing it. I would really like a basic explanation of these statistics: Live Bytes Living Transitory Overall Bytes When I am trying to work out how much memory my application is using, am I to look at Live Bytes or Overall Bytes? Does this include leaked memory? What are Transitory objects? Thanks Ken Aspeslagh ObjectAlloc tracks all memory allocation and deallocation over the time your program is running. The Living bytes, or Net bytes is how much memory
