For some reason, in IntelliJ, my debugger does not stop on breakpoints when running common tests on iOS. Is there a trick to this? I kinda thought it would work out of the box. Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Have the same problem, however Android Studio and IntelliJ Ultimate do work.

@Tijl Glad I’m not the only one… I just got the 30 day version of InteliJ Ultimate… and I’m running into the same issue with it too. 😕

[Alexander Black]

I copied the settings from the community addition over to it… so maybe that caused issues… I’ll maybe reset.

[Tijl]

make sure you have this plugin: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12775-native-debugging-support

[Alexander Black]

I added that one and restarted the IDE… is there any trick to it?

[Alexander Black]

It just passes right through my break points

[Alexander Black]

also thanks for your help… much appreciated. 🙂 Thought I was the only one and this was some weird issue with my config

looks like it might be related to this: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4404442384146

I’m going to try downgrading to 2021.1

[Alexander Black]

it worked! 🙌

hm yeah I actually only used it for a macos app (from the “native app” template inside Intellij), for iOS I just use Android Studio + KMM.

but now I also use Android Studio for that, I just create the template in IntelliJ.

I checked, and debugging still works in tests, I am on IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2.1 RC (Ultimate Edition)

[Alexander Black]

So for me… for whatever reason downgrading to 2021.1 worked

[Alexander Black]

maybe they broke something in the new version???

[Alexander Black]

IKD

[Alexander Black]

but I didn’t really need any of the new stuff in 2021.2 for the time being. 😄

[Tijl]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Tijl]

glad it works

[Alexander Black]

[Alexander Black]
