Hello,
are there any news when this will be fixed? I tried out the latest Beta 1 of macOS Sonoma 14.5 but it seems that it's still broken...
Also, in case you care about symbols existing in the already saved trace files, you should be able to just remove corresponding .symbols file for the given binary UUID. It's stored in the .trace/symbols directory. Please note that this format is new in Instruments 12 Beta, so you'll not see this structure in the .trace files saved by the previous versions.
That's brilliant! Thanks!
Hi Kacper,
amazing, thank’s for all the information and explanation! You helped me a lot :-)
Out of curiosity: Why would you like to do it? I'm wondering if maybe there's something else that imposes a problem for you.
We do not release our applications with symbols and want to keep them private. I have two workflow examples:
I’am troubleshooting on a customer system and would like to view the traces directly on this machine without always transferring the trace to another machine to symbolicate them
I’am doing some traces on my machine and would like to share them with external engineers, but only with symbols for a specific bundle, not the whole application. I don’t know how to save a symbolicated trace in Instruments without symbols once it’s symbolicated
I hope that explains the workflow?! Let me know if you have further questions :-)
Have a nice day!

I filed a report: FB7003081It would be really great to have feedback why this ktrace can't be symbolicated. I did a test with another customer and it's the same problem.
Hey cwoolf,I got a new profile but I have the same problem. The customer used "sudo ktrace artrace --type=profile". I see all processes in instruments but when opening the Symbols window it is empty. I have no idea what we are doing wrong.I did a test and profiled an IMac, transfered the ktrace file to my Macbook Pro and it works, I can symbolicate it in instruments. So there must be something different.Any idea? 🙂It would be really great to get it working!
Ahh! Thanks for the help cwoolf. It's okay for the customer to profile without the "-p".
Hey cwoolf,I have one more question 🙂I tried the procedure with a customer. He did a trace using:"sudo ktrace artrace -p 3534 --type=profile"and send it to me. I can load it in Instruments perfectly but the symbols are missing. How do I symbolize the trace correctly? Going to the Symbols... Menu Entry in Instruments shows an empty window. The customer is on OSX 10.14.5 and I'am on 10.14.6. I do not need the symbols of the OSX system but the ones from the application I'am working on.Best regards,Erich
