Thanks for being a part of WWDC25!

How did we do? We’d love to know your thoughts on this year’s conference. Take the survey here

(iOS 26) - PowerProfiler trace file cannot be opened

I kept CoreLocation’s startUpdatingLocation running for a full day and used Performance trace - PowerProfiler to track the power usage during that time. The trace file was successfully generated on the iOS device, and I later transferred it to my MacBook.

However, when I tried to open the .atrc file, I received the following warning:

The document cannot be imported because of an error: File ‘/Users/jun/Downloads/PowerProfiler_25-06-16_181049_to_25-06-17_091037_001.atrc’ doesn’t contain any events.

Why is this happening? Is there a known issue with PowerProfiler in iOS 26, or am I missing something in the tracing setup?

Note: The .aar file and the extracted .atrc file are not attached here, as forum uploads do not support these formats.
