Breakpoints can stop your app while it's running to help you squish bugs and find gaps in logic. This movie shows how to use breakpoints in your development in Xcode.
- [Narrator] With breakpoints you can…run through your code line by line.…To add a breakpoint, simply click…to the left of the line number.…You can see the breakpoints added with the breakpoint icon.…And what that's going to do is stop the app…while it's running at the particular location.…You can add more than one breakpoint as well.…Let's run the app and see how it works.…So the application is running now…and when it's running, it hits a breakpoint.…
When application did finish launching…inside of this method and then it stops…right here where the breakpoint is.…Note that the value of sum is equal to zero.…And if I want to, I can actually go to…the next line by using this button right here.…Step over, that takes me to the next line…and then I'm looking at getSum.…Here I'm still seeing that the value of sum is zero.…The way that breakpoints work is that…you get the values of variables when the breakpoint…is hit, line by line, but it's before…the line is actually completely processed.…
In order to see the value of sum, I…

11/18/2016These Xcode tutorials help new developers install Xcode and start writing and editing code. Instructor Todd Perkins shows how to build a brand-new user interface (UI) with buttons and menus in Interface Builder, Xcode's intuitive UI design tool, as well as advanced designs that adapt to screen size, aspect ratio, and orientation changes. He reviews the version control and storyboard features, as well as the basics of schemes and behaviors. Plus, learn how to compile and debug apps, test apps in the iOS Simulator, and send your app to Apple for distribution in the App Store.
