Ios – use instruments – leaks with a device

instrumentsiosmemory-leak-detectormemory-leaks

I'm starting to use Instruments-Leaks with an iPhone 3G. When I try to run the app with Instruments on the iPhone I obtain

Target failed to run: Remote exception encountered: 'Failed to get task for pid 280'

Ideas?

The only time I succeed in running the app with instruments it run very slow, I couldn't test it.
What are the steps to run the app on the device searching for leaks?

The solution for me was to make sure that my Profile scheme was using the "debug" and not "release" build configuration.

In Xcode 4 select Product/Edit Scheme from the top menu then click on the "profile" button on the left. On the "info" pane you will see a setting for Build Configuration- set that to "debug"
