I made a box with MDLMesh.newBox(). I added normals. let mdlMesh = MDLMesh.newBox(withDimensions: SIMD3<Float>(1, 1, 1), segments: SIMD3<UInt32>(2, 2, 2), geometryType: MDLGeometryType.triangles, inwardNormals:false, allocator: allocator) mdlMesh.addNormals(withAttributeNamed: MDLVertexAttributeNormal, creaseThreshold: 0.25) After I convert to MTKMesh the normals are (0,0,0) for a group of vertices. I can only inspect the geometry after I convert to MTKMesh. Is there a way you can use Geometry Viewer on a MDLMesh?

Context I created a short script to CPU profile a program from the command line. I am able to record via the Instruments app, but when I try from the command line I get the following error shown below. This example is just profiling the grep command. Error: % cpu_profile /usr/bin/grep \ --recursive "Brendan Gregg" \ "$(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk" Profiling /usr/bin/grep into /tmp/cpu_profile_grep.trace Starting recording with the CPU Profiler template. Launching process: grep. Ctrl-C to stop the recording Run issues were detected (trace is still ready to be viewed): * [Error] Failed to start the recording: Failed to force all hardware CPU counters: 13.

I am trying to record the requests and responses in a WKWebView, but instruments does not seem to record them. Is this to be expected? The webView is set to inspectable, and I am using the HTTP Traffic instrument. All the requests the app is doing are recorded, but neither the original request for the webView, nor subsequent traffic is recorded. When I use Safari to inspect the webView, all I see is the last page (even when I start the inspector before the first request is made). How can I see these requests?

When running instruments or when debug memory in Xcode, I am getting same error as An unknown error occurred launching the helper task Xcode: Xcode16.3 OS: 15.5 Beta (24F5068b) Mac mini: Apple M2 Pro

I want to check the disassembly code of vImage function by Instrument. But when I double click the stack of time profiler, I can see nothing. My Mac is intel chip and iPhone is 14 pro max Xcode version is 16.3. How can I fix this(maybe no .dSYM in iOS device support?)

I am currently reviewing the tutorial documentation for the instruments. (Instruments Tutorials: https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/instruments/identifying-a-hang) It seems very useful, so I want to follow the tutorials step by step. However, I am having trouble downloading the sample project files; it appears that the 7z file is broken. (https://developer.apple.com/instruments/tutorials/downloads/InitialVersion.7z) Can anyone help me with how to download the project files properly?

I am using XCode16 and macOS 14.7.2. Previously, using the instruments on an iPhone with iOS 14.3 was normal, but when I upgraded to iOS 18, the instruments often couldn't find the library. I have to restart the instruments to restore normal operation, but the problem will occur again after using it for a period of time

Hi, When I run the new Processor Trace instrument on a simple C or C++ console app, it hangs in "Analyzing - Transferring data" upon finishing the measurement. When I run it without any other instrument, I get the error: Failed to stop recording session: Data Providers emitted errors: CPUTrace Any ideas what I could try, or how to get a more verbose log of this failure? Best, Ronny P.S.: I'm using a Macbook Pro M4 Pro 14". MacOs Version 15.4 Beta (24E5228e)

Hi, I’m encountering an issue while using xctrace & instruments to profile an application on macOS. Specifically, when trying to record a trace using the CPU Profiler template, I get the following errors: Failed to start the recording: configureHardwareCounters: Failed set kpc configuration: Operation not permitted.
