Xcode Instruments stops recording when iPad app leaves the splash screen

Viewed 4864

I am writing an iPad app and I would like to use Xcode Instruments to see if my app has any memory leaks. I have used Instruments successfully before but with Xcode 4.0.2 recently with this app I have the problem described in the title. It only works very rarely.

Steps to use Instruments: - From the Xcode menu: Product>Profile - Choose the Leaks instument - Watch Instruments start recording allocations and leaks while the app shows its splash screen. - The app's initial view controller becomes visible and Instruments stops recording at the same time.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug in Instruments?

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit:

Instruments works on the iPad simulator but not the device (iPad 2)

Be sure, you device is turned on (in some cases it can be spontaneously shut down).
