I've run my app with zombies on the device for a few minutes, which is
usually enough to identify problems.
I have been playing around with Instruments trying to get it to run my app
in the simulator with zombies enabled and I can't quite figure out the
sequence of steps required to make it happen. Do you happen to have a
recipe?
Xcode won't let me select Zombies as an instrument, even when the target is
set to Simulator.
