I love that you can hit spacebar on any local variable and "QuickLook" preview it just like a file in the finder. It even renders UIViews, and previews 3D models right in the debugger. The 3D view debugger, memory graph inspector, and all the other tools are just great
- heretogetout 4y agoOnly the first breakpoint? It's glacial for me on a pretty well spec'd 2019 MBP. Every step takes several seconds as, I guess, resources or just data are pulled from my device. I still try to start with the debugger but I almost always fall back to print statements. (It's often faster to add print statements and rebuild+redeploy than wait for a step or two in the debugger).
