Appium iOS: The network trace file for instruments gets blank

See original GitHub issue

The problem I am running appium for ios real device to record the instruments trace log for network. But after running the test, i found the .trace file is blank. If i am running it for “Activity Monitor”, the .trace file have the contents.

Environment

Appium version: 1.14.0 (Appium desktop for mac)
ios real device: 12.4
Instrument version: 10.2.1 (10E1001)
ios network connection: wifi

The sample code:

 File traceZip = new File("/tmp/trace.zip");
  HashMap<String, Object> args = new HashMap<>();
  args.put("timeout", 60000);
  args.put("pid", "current");
  args.put("profileName", "Network");
  //args.put("profileName", "Activity Monitor");
  driver.executeScript("mobile: startPerfRecord", args);
  driver.findElementByAccessibilityId("Search").click();
  Thread.sleep(5000);
  String b64Zip = (String)driver.executeScript("mobile: stopPerfRecord", args);
  byte[] bytesZip = Base64.getMimeDecoder().decode(b64Zip);
  FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(traceZip);
  stream.write(bytesZip);

yes, it works fine with the full path name now. args.put("profileName", "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Applications/Instruments.app/Contents/Resources/templates/NetWork"); thank you!

What if you provide the full path to the network template instead of just the name
