Xcode Instruments - "This instrument does not support OSX"

Question

I am trying to make some performance analysis with Instruments (XCode 7.2), but when I choose Core Animation instrument, it shows just the message "This instrument does not support OSX". I am running El Capitan (10.11.3). What am I doing wrong? How else, if not through OSX, am I supposed to run it?

Answer 1

This message means, that instrument may be used only for analysis of iOS application, not OS X one. There is no way to run it to analyze OS X app.

Edit: Just checked, and Core Animation instrument doesn't work with iOS Simulator too. You should use real device to able to analyze iOS application.
