For a development build, yes. For a deployment build, no. And it never was AFAIR.


Putting in a feature that produces code that only
works correctly on the developers' machine as a default option seems
incredibly wreckless. Whether it is a good idea at all is another
discussion but making it default just seems like a bad joke.

This enables the nightmare situation of a developer saying "it works
right on my machine" and being actually the case.

That's been possible as long as I've been writing software. ZeroLink may be a new method of triggering it, but it's certainly not a new possibility.


I haven't updated to version 1.5 of XCode
because of reports of problems specifically with debugging so I don't
know if this has already been rectified.

Ain't nuffin' to rectify about it, IMO.
