4. Hold down Option and press Profile
5. The UIAutomation instrument will launch and fail immediately

Hi,

Any update on this issue?

I have the exactly same issue using Instrument with iphone 5s running ios 8

Otherwise testing with Instrument and Simulator is ok

I think they have updated Instrument (my version is 6.0 (56156)) to work with Simulator but they didn't fix for real device.

Thanks,
