Today’s task is to dive in and understand the debugging tools that are built into Xcode.  The good news is that my development it to the point where I need to start debugging things.  The bad news is that the debugging tools aren’t working quite as I expected.  I’m going to be spending quality time this afternoon/ evening with the Xcode Debugging Guide in the iPhone Reference Library.

I’ll update this post with some lessons learned about debugging apps for iPhone.  Hopefully soon!

It was really pretty simple.  Once I figured out how to view the console (there are lots of ways to see the console but what I did was go to Xcode Preferences -> Debugging -> In the “On Start” select box choose Show Console) the I got all of the info I needed.  I also played around enough with the debugger to figure out how to set break points, examine variable values and step through the code.
