Fortunately, most of my system incompatibilities have come down to missing symbols or libraries. In these cases you usually crash or quit with a very informative console dump or crash log.

In the rare case that I do need to debug something, I usually resort to just using command-line gdb. In these cases it has just been to avoid the nuisance of upgrading Xcode.

It might be worth keeping an Xcode 1.5 compatible project around, so you can copy the project file over to the machine in question. I did this on one of my projects and it also served as a useful opportunity to switch from ".pbproj" to ".xcode". Of course, if the bug doesn't occur when compiling on the older system, I guess that's of little help.

So I'm about to upgrade my main development system to Tiger and start working with Xcode 2.0 full time....

Then this thought hit me: How to I debug apps in 10.3?

I keep several partitions on an external drive for regression testing against older (sometimes newer) versions of the OS, so it's trivial matter to run my apps on 10.3 or 10.2. But what about _debugging_ them.

Once I've upgraded to Xcode 2.0 will I still be able to load the project and run the debugger in Xcode 1.5?

Or will remote debugging save me? Can I remotely debug an application running under 10.2 or 10.3 from a second computer running 10.4, or do both systems have to be running the same version of the debugger?
