Question

I’m trying to debug a crash (likely memory related) but whenever the app crashes while debugging on iPad device Xcode (4.2) shows Paused with no backtrace for any thread (GDB). Switching to LLDB provides even less — the app crashes, console shows nothing and Xcode ends debugging.

The crash only occurs after intense use and is likely related to insufficient memory.

I can’t find any info related to the crash though. Anyone else experienced this behavior?

Answer 1

Have you set the exception breakpoint?

1. got to breakpoint editor pane
2. click on the [+] in the bottom left corner of the pane
3. choose add exception breakpoint

Now you should see a stacktrace if an exception occurs.
