Bugs are bound to happen. Getting rid of them is an essential skill if you want to keep your sanity when building apps. In this course, iOS Debugging Fundamentals, you will learn a set of thinking skills to couple with the fundamental tools that Xcode provides you for finding and fixing flaws in your apps. First, you will learn to approach debugging situations with a set of principles for strategic problem solving. Next, you will discover how to configure breakpoints and inspect view hierarchies effectively. Finally, you will explore how to interpret a backtrace, glean valuable information from the Xcode debug area and console, locate changes in your codebase and simulate conditions that happen in the wild.
