While attaching lldb to iPhone works from within Xcode. It is flaky at times. I wonder if it is because XCode has some additional checks before attaching to a process in iPhone. I'd like to debug an iPhone app from command line. lldb has some tutorial that suggest using platform select but that command is unsuccessful in even connecting.
$ (lldb) platform select remote-ios
Platform: remote-ios
Connected: no
Am I missing something?
This question has been asked earlier but has no correct answers:
Probably the easiest way to do this is using ios-deploy e.g.
ios-deploy --bundle=<bundle.app> --debug
The above command will install your application bundle to the attached iOS device, and launch it with an lldb session connected.
