Thanks

You just have to turn the breakpoints on (in toolbar) and then press Run.
Afterwards you set View/Show Debug Area (CMD+SHIFT+Y) to show the debug view. Set a breakpoint at the line you are interested in by clicking at the line number in the left panel. Now execution stops and you can inspect the variables. Use the Product / Debug menu for execute the code step by step to see what’s going on.
It’s pretty handy and you won’t miss it once you get used to it. Be careful with NSLog statements especially when developing for iPhone, they are very expensive in terms of preformance.
