I don't suppose you can restore a backup of the project when it was working
before, and then change things one at a time till it breaks. That's how
I'd approach it.
If you don't have a backup, I suggest creating a simple new project from
scratch, rather than a large one. Set it up so it's exactly the same as
the malfunctioning one.
Better still, remove all the source from a copy of your current project,
then add a simple main() function that just calls printf(). Because you're
copying the project, you know it has all the same settings that lead to the
malfunction. Once simplified to a single source file, slowly expand the
project until it breaks. If you try to go the other direction, starting
big and working down, it's a lot harder to find the cause of a malfunction.
If you also make a parallel project from scratch using the normal defaults
and identical source, then that's another way to converge on the setting,
option, or configuration state that leads to tbe problem. Between the two
projects, one working and one not, compiling the same source, it should be
easier to see what the differences are.
Yet another tactic is to create a temporary user account, login under that
account, and see if Xcode has the same malfunction with your original
project. If Xcode works, then it's probably one of your original account's
preferences files.
The problem is, you're the only one who's in a practical position to figure
this out. You have the project, with all its source and settings. No one
else does. Although you posted some settings, there's no way to know if
those are the ones that lead to the problem. It could be anything in the
project, and only you have the whole project. The fact that other people
seem to be able to set debug breakpoints should be evidence that the goal
is possible, though not without some work on your part.
Apologies in advance if this isn't the answer you were looking for.
