Xcode 6.0.1 not displaying memory usage

I've upgraded to Xcode 6.0.1 from 5.1 and when I'm running my app, I can't see memory usage in debug navigator:

I'm getting memory warnings. Yes, I could profile my app instruments without debugging, but seeing direct memory usage simply while debugging helps me a lot. How can I re-enable this functionality? I've restarted Xcode, rebuilt my project etc but I still can't see memory usage. The problem is present both when debugging on device or on the simulator. When I click the memory tab, I also get this weird "zeroed out" dashboard:

That's actually a table, and you can click on that "Memory" item in that table view. When you do click on it, does anything appear at all? – Michael Dautermann
@MichaelDautermann the dashboard displays zero bytes for memory usage. I've updated the post now and attached a screenshot demoing the issue. – Can Poyrazoğlu
Still an issue with Xcode 6.1 – race_carr
@race_carr exactly. did the answer work for you? – Can Poyrazoğlu
yes. It's not a great solution, though (because you might want to have Zombie objects turned on for Debugging) – race_carr

I have resolved disabling Memory Guard diagnostic in the Scheme. From Xcode: Menu Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme... -> Diagnostic Tab -> uncheck all Guard options

If still doesn't work, try to disable (if enabled) the "Enable Zombie Object" checkbox.
