The way that I did it is this:

1. Use NetInfo Manager (it's in the "Utilities" folder, inside the "Applications folder) to enable the 'root' account. See this URL for details:

   http://qdea.com/pages/pages-sprox/sprox10.html#rootlogin

2. Log in as 'root'.

3. Open the XCode project.

4. Debug away. When interapplication communication was involved, I ran both parts in the same instance of XCode.

This will work for some situations, but if a particular application behaves differently in the cases where the user is logged in as root and when it's just running as root, this may not be helpful.

I don't think that running Xcode via 'sudo' will work:
     sudo open /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app

Pseudo might work: <http://personalpages.tds.net/~brian_hill/pseudo.html>

I have not tried it with Xcode, but I have used it successfully with other
apps.


To the original poster, you can also reconfigure httpd so it runs as
non-root, uses a non-privileged port, etc. You have to edit root- owned
files to do this, but it might be safer in the long run than debugging
while running as root.

This seems like material for an Xcode feature request. Surely a fair number of people have a need from time to time to debug an application running as root, and as far as I can tell there is no way -- or at least no obvious or trivial way -- to do so. Am I missing something or should I file a request in radar?
