Command-line instruments on older but supported iOS/Device combinations?

I noted Eric Wings post on: "Command line instruments broken with pre-iOS 6 devices".


http://lists.apple.com/archives/xcode-users/2012/Sep/msg00187.html


I'm running XCode 4.5 and I too am experiencing similar problems:


3GS with iOS 6 -- works

3GS with iOS 5.1.1 - unable to start: Instruments Trace Error: Failed to start trace.


iPad2, iPhone4S with iOS 5.1.1 - works

iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.3 - unable to start: Instruments Trace Error: Failed to start trace.


Note that this is invocation via commandline (instruments script).


When invoked through XCode UI (UIAutomation tool) it works on all configurations - so it seems this is a commandline issue only.


Did anyone manage to get closer to a solution (other than managing several installations on different machines/virtuals)?



Kind Regards,

- Karl
