Question

I am trying to debug my program using NSZombie. The debugger did return me the address of the instance with the issue, however I am not sure where to obtain the pid which is required to run the command ‘shell malloc_history

Can anyone advise me on what is the correct pid to use in this case? I tried 3298 and 3298:707 and they both didnt work. Appreciate any help here.

malloc_history cannot examine process 3298 because the process does not exist.

malloc_history works only in simulator. Your logs say that you are doing it on device.
