Xcode Scheme中的Debug可执行选项

Question

Besides the obvious feature that is to permit the debugging of the app (most of the time using a Debug Configuration ), why you should leave this option enabled, for example, even in Release Configuration ?

What is the proper use of this feature?

Answer 1

From Apple's website :

The “Debug executable” checkbox specifies whether or not you want to run with the debugger enabled. Once running, you can use Debug > Attach to Process on a process that has been launched with debugging disabled if needed.

It seems like all this does is start your app with the debugger attached. You probably want it on.
