How do I automatically create performance reports for an iOS app?

I'm also using fruitstrap to install apps on the device in CI. In terms of booting the app, I know of two ways:

1. Use fruitstrap with the debugger attached

   • I know teams that have done this to run KIF integration tests on devices in CI. I have played around with fruitstrap to get it booting apps on the device, but haven't myself taken the extra step of automating the whole thing
   • shameless plug for my post on fruitstrap: http://www.stewgleadow.com/blog/2011/11/05/installing-ios-apps-on-the-device-from-the-command-line/

2. Use the instruments command line tool with UIAutomation

   • I know the instruments tool can boot apps on the device automatically in CI (I wish it also installed them, but we have fruitstrap for that until Apple fixes it). So you could write a really simple little UIAutomation test that gave your app enough time to do its performance analysis.
   • Jonathan Penn has a nice little demo project for UIAutomation and build script that could be integrated with an 'install' step using fruistrap to try it out on the device

In both cases, I uses a little wrapper around libusb to give me the device ID of attached devices, so the more devices I plug into my CI machine, the more devices it runs tests on, https://github.com/sgleadow/iphone_detect

Can you launch the app on the device using lldb?

If so, it may also be able to capture the log output.
