Thanks for your reply.

I know the option to create a custom executable, but this sound like a kludge to me. Xcode is well aware what the executable in the bundle is, and it does not seem logical to me that the debugger does not.

But I probably will go ahead and file a bug report on it, unless I simply omitted a step

the finder now, it is launched using the bar Bundle executable.

However, if I try to use "run" or "debug" from within Xcode, I am
told that there is "no lauchable executable present at path "/Users/

Create a custom executable. You can get set your build settings to build any target, then set the executable to launch your renamed binary for testing and debugging. The executable can be anything and doesn't even have to be a product of your project. The canonical example is a project that produces a plug-in, but to debug it one must launch the host application that loads the plug-in.
