The technique works well, but it is laborious to set the active
executable manually.
This attempt to automate the setup with AppleScript
< inept code snipped >
gives: Xcode got an error: Can’t set active executable to "/path/to/

Thanks to Stefan Haller, who supplied the arcane code for setting the
active executable. Below is my (now working) AppleScript and the shell
script that calls it.
-- DebugWithXcode.scpt
on run argv
set pathToDebugProject to item 1 of argv
set nameOfDebugProject to item 2 of argv
set pathToAppUnderTest to item 3 of argv
tell application "Xcode"
open pathToDebugProject
tell project nameOfDebugProject
set e to executables whose path is pathToAppUnderTest
if length of e is 0 then
set e to make new executable with properties {name:"dbug",
path:pathToAppUnderTest}
else
set e to first item of e
end if
set active executable to e
debug
end tell
end tell
end run
#! /bin/sh
osascript DebugWithXcode.scpt /path/to/DebugHost.xcodeproj DebugHost /
path/to/Test.app &
