Xcode Breakpoints Improve Your Debugging with Better

<p>The simplest definition would say a&nbsp;<em>breakpoint</em>&nbsp;is a marker in your code to intentionally pause your app if the code is encountered at runtime. If you just click on the gutter to add one in Xcode, that&rsquo;s true. However, breakpoints are capable of much more.</p> <p>Looking at breakpoints from a much broader view, they represent a mechanism to gather runtime information to match against their condition. If this condition is met, they execute an action, or if none is configured, pause the running app.</p> <p>The main advantage of how Xcode (and any IDE/editor I know) handles breakpoints is that you don&rsquo;t have to predefine them before running your code. They can be added, enabled, disabled, and edited before and after you start your app.</p> <h2>Xcode Breakpoint Options</h2> <p>If you click on the gutter, a blue breakpoint marker gets added to it at the line you clicked. Right-clicking this marker reveals the possible options, like editing, disabling, and deleting, but for now, a double-click opens the edit popover</p> <p><a href="https://blog.stackademic.com/xcode-breakpoints-101-39752aafa270">Learn More :-</a></p>
