Swift: Debug mode not working on Test flight

Question

in my project I have code surrounded by marks of DEBUG mode #if DEBUG like this:

#if DEBUG
    let goToMainScreensGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(navigateToMainStoryboard(_:)))
    goToMainScreensGesture.delegate = self
    goToMainScreensGesture.numberOfTapsRequired = 2
    logoLargeImageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    logoLargeImageView.addGestureRecognizer(goToMainScreensGesture)
#endif

But that does not work, is there another alternative to add my own debug mode?

On TestFlight, Apple is automatically moving Debug mode apps to Release mode. I need to add my own global debug mode to the app for the debugging features to work.

What is the best practices on how to do this right?

In the project, in which scheme is that macro set, and when you release on TestFlight, which one do you use? — Larme, Nov 11 '18 at 10:09
But when you release on that Testflight, what the scheme used? For instance, you can use Debug, Beta and Release. Allowing some new feature on beta. — Larme, Nov 11 '18 at 10:20
Check the on the Archive what scheme it use: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21897728/how-to-toggle-running-xcode-project-in-debug-or-release-mode-by-using-only-short (to get how find it). — Larme, Nov 11 '18 at 10:24
In project info there is "use release for commande line build" I must to switch it to "use debug for commande line build"? — Mickael Belhassen, Nov 11 '18 at 10:29

Imho, most useful is to create your own custom info.plist variable and check it at runtime. If your debug mode doesn't contain secure data. Otherwise, you can use 'other linker flags' which depends on your target.
