"Apple does not have a good debugging solution compared to Android for testing your apps."
That's a pretty absurd claim. Xcode has a fine debugger, comes with Instruments for various kinds of profiling, and can simulate multiple versions of iOS as well as multiple types of hardware (including various screen sizes).
I haven't done much Android development, but I have a hard time believing Android debugging is somehow magically significantly better than iOS debugging.
- avjinder 14y agoExactly. I've developed for Android and I found the tools to be horrible. Eclipse is slow and hangs a lot, the emulator takes a long while to start and the only debugging tools you have at your disposal are console and Logcat. Xcode has an entire Instruments app with dedicated tools for detailed debugging.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoAvjinder, your post smells like a " Java sucks lol" style comment about eclipse. Eclipse is one if those softwares that people love to abstractly complain about without specifics. Also, you're doing something massively wrong if you think android lacks a proper debugger. Also, hasn't the new emulator been out for nearly or over a year now? I tire of people whining because they refuse to upgrade their tools. Also, good luck with that simulator...
