Xcode intercepts signals in the process being debugged (for good reason).
You can ignore specific signals in Xcode (i.e. pass them through to the process
being debugged) by breaking into the debugger, then enter in the Xcode console
part (example for SIGUSR1):

        process handle SIGUSR1 -s false
        process handle SIGUSR1 -p true
