UI Recorder template not found in instruments


I have installed xcode4 and used profiling for leaks and allocations, etc. However, I don't find the new UI Recorder template in instruments under iOS however I find a template named Automation. Please let me know how to enable UI Recorder template in instruments for xcode 4 and also any idea what is this Automation template for?

Thanks.


Solution

  • There is no UI Recorder template for iOS applications, it can't be done. The Automation template is for automated UI unit tests. It runs a JavaScript test script that you put together that is able to drive the UI and record successes or failures. You can find details about UI Automation in the Instruments Users Guide.

    It helps a lot to read the documentation first and then ask specific questions later, when you don't understand something in the documentation or something doesn't work as expected. If you don't read the documentation, you'll just get answers where people either reiterate the documentation to you, or point you to the documentation.
