9.44.1. Brief introduction ¶
When we do an application, we may make all kinds of mistakes, which can lead to all kinds of mistakes. Therefore, in order to fix these errors or defects, we need to debug the application.
9.44.2. Select a debugger ¶
The debuggers in Xcode are GDB and LLDB debuggers, and GDB is the default. LLDB is a debugger that is part of LLVM’s open source compiler project. You can change debugging and edit activity plan options.
9.44.3. How do I find coding errors? ¶
We just need to build our application, the code is compiled by the compiler, and all messages, errors and warnings will be displayed as well as the cause of the error, and we can correct them. You can click product, and then click “analyze”, the problems that may occur in the application.
9.44.4. Set breakpoint ¶
Breakpoints help us understand our application objects and help us identify many flaws, including the different states of logical problems. We just need to click on the line number to create a breakpoint. We can delete the breakpoint by clicking and dragging it. As shown below
When we run the application and select playVideo, the button’s application will be paused, and let’s analyze the state of our application. When the breakpoint is triggered, we will get an output, as shown in the following figure
You can easily determine which thread triggered the breakpoint. You can see objects at the bottom, such as self,sender, etc., which hold the values of the corresponding objects, and we can expand some of these objects to see what their state is.
To continue the application, we select the continue button (the leftmost button) in the debug area, as shown in the following figure. Other options include steps and step skip
9.44.5. Abnormal breakpoint ¶
We also have exception breakpoints that trigger the location where the application stops where the exception occurs. We can create an exception breakpoint by selecting the “+” button after selecting debug navigation. You will get the following window
Then, we need to select the “Exception Breakpoint” breakpoint, which displays the following window
