Q: 

How to Activate Breakpoints in a Dependent Project (a framework) in XCode

I have an Xcode project that has an other project as a dependent project. My main Xcode project links agains a framework in that dependent project.

Now I want to track down something in my framework. How can I set break points in that dependent project so that when I'm starting my main Xcode project they stop in the dependent project? Sometimes, I'm able to get into a some parts of the framework with just stepping in but the breakpoints in the dependent project aren't working.

Any suggestions how I can make these breakpoints in a dependent Xcode project work?

+1  A: 

Xcode 3.2.2 has a known bug with debugging frameworks. Fall back to 3.2.1 until a newer version is released.

That explains a lot! Because I had in mind that it once worked. Do you know if it's fixed in Xcode 3.2.3?

I think it is fixed in 3.2.3, but a new bug (involving dwarf with dSym generation) prevents me from using 3.2.3.

The 3.2.3 release notes say "A case where breakpoints in a shared library would not be hit has been fixed. 7212899"

I tried to not upgrade because the 3.2.3 has some problems with iPhone and Mac targets in the same Xcode project. Let's hope Xcode 4 fixes all problems.
