Problem
Instruments\' Time Profiler is stripping all symbols except system libraries from my app, despite the fact that I have disabled this behavior in
I had a similar issue where I had no symbols in my os x application that I built from the command line (so in this case it is not an iphone or xcode issue). It turned out the problem was due to a bad DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH that contained my PATH. When I got rid of all those non-library paths, such as /usr/bin/, it worked.
