Xcode 13 beta: “xcrun: error: Failed to locate 'instruments'”

This a repost from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68872891/xcode-13-beta-xcrun-error-failed-to-locate-instruments

Please note, I'm looking for /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments util (lower-case), not the Instruments app which can be found in Xcode.app/Contents/Applications.


I have both Xcode12 and Xcode13-beta-5 on my computer. When run xcrun instruments -w <device id>, Xcode13 says xcrun: error: Failed to locate 'instruments'.


Locating the "instruments" in Xcode12:

olia@Olhas-MacBook-Pro % ls /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/*instruments* 

# output ✅
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/instruments

Locating the "instruments" in Xcode13:

olia@Olhas-MacBook-Pro % ls /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/*instruments* 

# output ❌		
zsh: no matches found: /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/*instruments*   

Here, Xcode-beta.app is Xcode13, and Xcode.app is Xcode12.

The instruments command line tool is deprecated in favor of xctrace. This is noted in the Xcode 13 Release Notes.
