Adding an Exception Breakpoint in Xcode 4.5

Lot of times developers complain that while running an iOS app in Xcode, the app crashes and the console doesn’t show anything to help them finding the error.

A simple but very efficient tip for those situations is to add an exception breakpoint to xcode. In a lot of cases it will point the exact line where an exception occurs.

To add an exception breakpoint, follow the steps:

1) At breakpoint navigator, click the “plus” button and “Add Exception Breakpoint…”

2)  Click “Done” in the Exception Breakpoint window

That is all you have to do. Hope that helps!
