I think if you set your target to the tool and set the active executable to the main application you should be able to hit breakpoints when you debug. This is how you debug plug-ins and system preferences.

Thank you for the suggestion. I already tried this, but this does not work.


I believe the reason is that it is a valid program which Xcode can launch and does so. Because the program expects command line arguments, it quickly fails.

You might give it another shot -- what Matthew is suggesting here should make Xcode launch your main app when you tell it to debug the helper. As he says, this is how you debug things like plug-ins, and iirc I've used it for helper programs as well.

Yes, I have done this with plug-ins as well, which is why I tried it first, but this technique does not seem to apply to helper programs.


If you feel like playing around, try to figure out how to get the debugger to stop at the first assert in BASHelperToolMain in BetterAuthorizationSampleLib.c which is a part of the BetterAuthorizationSample (http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/BetterAuthorizationSample/index.html )
