How do I track bugs

To track bugs effectively, you can utilize several tools and techniques discussed in the WWDC sessions:

Breakpoints and Debugging:
- Use breakpoints to isolate and inspect problematic code. You can set breakpoints on specific lines to pause execution and examine the state of your program. For more advanced techniques, you can use conditional breakpoints or breakpoint actions.
- Xcode essentials covers how to use breakpoints effectively.
- Run, Break, Inspect: Explore effective debugging in LLDB also provides insights into using breakpoints and other debugging tools like backtraces and variable inspection.
Testing:
- Implement comprehensive testing to catch bugs before they ship. Xcode provides tools to run tests and view detailed test reports, which can help you identify and fix issues early.
- Xcode essentials discusses the importance of testing and how to use test reports to track bugs.
Using the Organizer and TestFlight:
- The Organizer in Xcode helps you track feedback from beta testers and monitor the performance of your app. TestFlight can be used to distribute your app to beta testers and collect their feedback.
- Xcode essentials explains how to use the Organizer and TestFlight for tracking bugs and gathering user feedback.
Logging and Print Debugging:
- Use logging to capture detailed information about your app's execution, which can be invaluable for diagnosing issues. Print debugging, while more manual, can also help you understand the flow of your program and identify where things go wrong.
- Run, Break, Inspect: Explore effective debugging in LLDB covers the use of logging and print debugging.
Thread Performance Checker:
- This tool helps you identify performance issues that might not reproduce locally but affect your users. It can pinpoint the exact line of code causing the issue.
- What’s new in Xcode 16 introduces the thread performance checker.

By leveraging these tools and techniques, you can effectively track and resolve bugs in your applications.
