An Exploration of Debugging Techniques and Tools
summary
Practical iOS debugging checklist: reproduce on device (simulator bugs are common), prefer Reveal view inspector over Xcode’s view debugger, use git commits to bisect regressions, and inspect crash reports with Crashlytics/Fabric. Use conditional breakpoints, breakpoint logging (instead of permanent NSLog), and watchpoints for value changes; add use constraint identifiers to trace Auto Layout conflicts. Watch for App Transport Security blocking HTTP and for missing filename extensions and threading/timing bugs that require reloading UI on the main thread.
