Debug Area Closes in Xcode When Running App

Question

In Xcode 4 the debug area closes every time I run an app, even though I have the debug area open before I hit Run.

Is there anyway to ensure that if I already have the debug area open that it will remain open when I run my app? This would save a lot of time as I wouldn't have to open it back up each time I execute code.

Answer 1

Have a look at Xcode -> Preferences -> Behaviors

Here, you can basically tell Xcode to do X when Y happens. You can tell him to hide or show certain areas, to play sounds and show alerts and even to display specified tabs. In your case, there might something like Testing/Running starts -> hide debugger be set.
