Unable to read any metrics during benchmark about performance-samples HOT 7 CLOSED

The problem is still here in 1.1.0 on the devices lower than API level 29 if release build of the app is used. Some mandatory traces, like startActivityAndWait are missing from captured .trace files because release builds are not traceable.

Starting API 29 there is a new manifest flag which allows to collect traces from release builds when set on both the app and the test app.

The only way to make it work on API 28 is to use debug builds.

When relying on debug builds for benchmarking you won't be able to see real world performance of your app.
The macrobenchmark library works down to API 23. Some traces might not be available depending on the specific device you're using. Which device & OS version are you using to capture traces?

We're currently trying to resolve it in this issue.

As a workaround, could you try adding some Thread.sleep(500) to the measureRepeated?

Yes, i do, but it's not working.

We've done some stability improvements. Could you check with the latest version rc01 if the problem still persists?
Thanks!

Same issue on Redmi 7A. 2GB RAM

This is unfortunately correct.

As you mentioned, you can use debug builds, but these are not recommended for performance measuring.

Alternatively, you should be able to measure release build on rooted device.

Here's nothing we can do better, because that's how Android system was designed.
