XCode: run iOS app without Debugger attached

debugging, ios, xcode

Solution

This is actually quite simple. Build and run the app through Xcode. Then stop the app from Xcode so the app terminates on the device. Now simply run the app on the device, without Xcode.

As mentioned, use the Xcode Organizer to view the device's console while you run the app.

Problem

I'm currently trying to test my App on an iOS Device without having a debugger attached. This is in order to test the PLCrashReporter library, because the debugger catches all crashes instead of the CrashReporter doing it. Things I tried: - Run in release mode - disable Breakpoints There must be a way to achieve this without having to export the IPA file and installing it manually. I'd like to see NSLog messages and I can't with the IPA file. Help is much appreciated!
