Overview
Mobile app debugging addresses platform-specific issues, device hardware limitations, and mobile-specific network conditions.
When to Use
- App crashes on mobile
- Performance issues on device
- Platform-specific bugs
- Network connectivity issues
- Device-specific problems
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
Xcode Debugging:
Attach Debugger:
- Xcode → Run on device
- Set breakpoints in code
- Step through execution
- View variables
- Console logs
View Logs:
- Xcode → Window → Devices & Simulators
- Select device → View Device Logs
- Filter by app name
- Check system logs for crashes
Inspect Memory:
- Xcode → Debug → View Memory Graph
- Identify retain cycles
- Check object count
- Monitor allocation growth
