Debugger does not stop at breakpoints when running on iPhone device

Question

I want to test my app on device and see all the NSLOGs on console while runnig the ap on device.I also want to stop the app at breakpoints but app does not stop on breakpoints and not print NSLOGs .I have unchecked load symbols lazily .I am using a debug build .Please tell me how to achieve this Thanks in advance

NOTE:After starting the app x code shows the app being debugged is not being run (I think the problem is after xcode transfers the app to device then it disconnects with device)

after connecting the device click build and run option from the xcode.are you doing the same? — Dinakar, Jul 18 '11 at 13:06
while testing on device check NSLog in window->Organizer->Device logs — iAmitWagh, Jul 18 '11 at 13:08
Are you sure that the app is actually getting to your code that has the breakpoints and log statements? — Philip Regan, Jul 18 '11 at 13:13

Do you have breakpoints enabled in xCode?

THanks for the answer but thats an obvious thing – Pankaj Kainthla Jul 18 '11 at 13:11
Just a quick note that this actually helped me - even though I had breakpoints enabled in Xcode, I found that toggling the option off and then back on again resolved my issue. – Carlos P Sep 20 '11 at 15:56

Sounds like you're working with a jailbroken device .. Is that the case ?
If you are , the "official" answer should be "disable mobileSubstrate addons".
I've managed to run the app in debug mode , after :

Doing what you mentioned (got that error message).
Double tap home-button , hold the app icon, close the app..
Run it again from XCode.
Repeat again if necessary.

Try to set breakpoint in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions then the viewwillappear of the view you want to test the breakpoints on. basically any places before your code (which you want to test) which surely get called.

I had same problem before not exactly sure why does it happen though. it's like preparing Xcode to look for breakpoints :)
