Instruments leaks stopping after app starts

Question

So I want use Leaks to find the leaks in my app. In Xcode, I go to "Product" and then hit "Profile". In Instruments I select Leaks and it starts. My app is starting and Leaks is running. But just as soon as my app is finished starting and I can use it, Leaks stops.

Is there anybody else with the same problem or maybe knows how to fix this?

Answer 1

clean project build folder, close XCode IDE and clean MAC Os caches then it should work. if it's an iOS project you have to delete app from simulator/device before re compile it.

Answer 2

That was my case. If you're using a real device, make sure you're using a valid provisioning profile (development provisioning profile) and that the device is included in the profile. More detailed explanation here.

Answer 3

If you use Cocoapods, be sure, you have unchecked Run script only when installing in Target > Build Phases > [CP] Embedded Pods Framework. Checked this option caused same problem for me.

Answer 4

The Leaks instrument seems to close after the app receives lot of memory warnings. Closing all background applications helps.

Answer 5

I've seen this happen when an incorrect provisioning profile is used when building the app and running on a physical device.

You shouldn't see this kind of error when running it in the simulator - it should work as intended. If you're using the simulator in this situation and are you still seeing this behaviour, I would encourage you to go to http://bugreport.apple.com and file a bug regarding this issue, giving as much detail as you possibly can.

If you're using a physical device, ensure you're using a valid provisioning profile and certificate/key pair and that the device is included in the profile.

Answer 6

I would chose a development profile for all release,debug modes, clean the simulator, clean xcode ,then i would launch instruments
