Run & Debug

Once you stop on a breakpoint, or pause the debug session, you can see descriptions of all the available variables and even the contents of collections and dictionaries.

AppCode provides Frames and Watches to help you investigate any problem with ease. As a bonus, when selecting a symbol to watch you can benefit from autocompletion.

You can also evaluate any arbitrary expression or code fragment simply by pressing ⌥F8. AppCode will show you a popup which allows to evaluate complex code expressions on-the-fly. If you prefer to use LLDB commands, you can always switch to debugger console which is available as a separate tool window.

You can always view all breakpoints in your code in a dedicated dialog by pressing ⇧⌘F8.

There are several breakpoints types you can use in AppCode:

• Line breakpoints which can be set at any line by clicking in the left-hand gutter.
• Symbolic breakpoints which help you stop program execution when a specific function starts executing.
• Exception breakpoints which are executed when a particular exception is thrown.
