hi @moizjv,

Do you have any plan to enable instruments-without-delay for Xcode 7? Currently I have a test suite that runs for almost 8 hour to finish. I can imagine without instruments-without-delay option, that suite will runs for days :frowning:

Thanks.

Why nobody want to build a dmg file?
1.4.8 is the latest version for download.

Hi I would just like to say it would be great if we could get a fix for the instruments-without-delay flag in Xcode 7 as Appium is extremely slow without it. Without a way around the 1 second delay it is very difficult to use Appium for testing a whole app, especially at an enterprise level.

@mweiss88 try using xcode 7.1 beta, not confirmed but looks like it is working with 7.1.

@moizjv o i tried using instruments-without-delay using appium 4.1.11 on xcode 7.1 Beta2 and it is much slower than using xcode 6 for the same version of appium and same tests.

@tbao thanks, I'll give that a try when I get the chance (will be a few days). Obviously a permanent fix in appium would be ideal but thanks for the work around!

Hi @tbao I also have problem with it.
It is clear that environment variable should be adde to plist file.

But how to do it step by step?
Could you explain it more extendedly?

Thanks.

@Degard Here are the steps that I did:
1. Checkout this project: https://github.com/lawrencelomax/instruments-without-delay20 first. Make sure you can open it by Xcode and build it successfully.

  1. Back up this file: ./Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator.sdk/Developer/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.instruments.deviceservice.plist ( I assume your Xcode is installed in the same directory of mine, otherwise you can do a search from Xcode directory with file name "com.apple.instruments.deviceservice.plist")

  2. Open that file and add this key - dict:
    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
    <key>DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES</key>
    <string>/Users/tbao/Developer/tools/appium/instruments-without-delay/build/DTMobileISShim.dylib</string>
    <key>LIB_PATH</key>
    <string>/Users/tbao/Developer/tools/appium/instruments-without-delay/build</string
    </dict>

Note: You have to change the values for the two keys DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, LIB_PATH according to your checked out instruments-without-delay project.

Now try to run appium again and see if it works. To be frankly, how the author of this project solves the problem is still a mystery to me but at least it works for me. Let me know if you have any problem and I'll try to get back to you when I have time
