Thanks so much for your response! I upgraded to Xcode 11.6 this morning and now when trying to get a freeze, I'm not getting one, even when I stop doing my workarounds to minimize the problem (I found disabling "Parallelize Build", never using the Previews, setting the Simulator to prefer the Integrated GPU, and always opening the Simulator before Xcode helped). Maybe there was a fix in Xcode 11.6?
In case it does start freezing again - one question: if I run
sudo spindump 100 -o ~/spindump.txt first, I get an error message:
Code Block perdue@mac-135246 ~ % sudo spindump 100 -o ~/spindump.txt |
Cannot find process with pid or partial name 100 |
I can run "Spindump" from Activity Monitor, but when the system freezes, I can't access Activity Monitor. How do I get a "pre-emptive" spindump?
Thanks again!
