Why does MonoTouch debugger disconnects after some time?


When I debug an app on my iPad, it's often the case that when I get back to it after some time has passed, the debugging session has already stopped but the app is still running.

It's very frustrating because I specifically baked some UIWebView debugging tools into the app like reloading external content on a swipe so I don't have to recompile it every time I change something.

I've looked at the settings and found nothing like “debugging timeout”. What's the matter?


Solution

  • It turns out, the problem was in Auto Lock.
    It unloads the application, and thus soft debugger's connection is lost.

    Setting Auto Lock to 15 minutes solved my problem.
