CPU Profiling with instruments fails to start

When trying to profile any process with the Instruments CPU Profiler I get this message: (Before run started) No allocated PMI record.

Not sure what to do here. I tried other instruments like time profile and that works fine so not sure what to do here... Didn't find any people having similar issues when googling so I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

Im using a m1 max 14 inch macbook pro with macOS 12.3 and instruments 13.0 (13A1030d)

  • Met the same problem for xcode 14.0.1. Anything I did wrong? Or is it a regression?

Hi Ruben-elk!

We believe that this issue should be fixed in Instruments 13.3 (currently stable shipping version). Could you please try that out and let us know if it works for you?

Best,

Kacper

Unfortunately, this issue is still happening in Instruments 14.0 (14A309). I'm unable to profile my app.

Please verify this issue, we are stuck in here! @Kacper

What does the 'PMI' mean, by the way?
