Debugging an iPhone when an external accessory is attached?

[Måns Bernhardt]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way to run a debug session on your
iPhone using Xcode when an external accessory is attached? As far as I
understand the Apple tool "Accessory Test System (ATS)" does not seem
to allow that even though the provided hardware consist of a USB cable
plus a female and male iPhone connector?

That's why there is wifi debugging. I have no pointer, but look for it in the docs (not useless google).

OK, sorry think I mistook remote instruments with remote debugger.

Hi,
here's how we do it: http://www.yellowfield.co.uk/blog/?p=20

If the external device has a passthrough USB connector then you can do
standard debugging. Works just like standard development, including
profiling and other instruments. I've never tried WIFI debugging, but
I'd that that should also work, and might even be preferable as
communication for debugging purposes does have some minor effect on
transfer rates with the EA when using the same cable for both.

So you've got a Dock cable -> mini USB converter -> dockStubz connection between the computer and iPhone, if I'm reading that correctly?

For a while, Kensington made a car charge that came with a detachable USB dock cable that had a pass-through dock port. It was the "Kensington K33368 4-in-1 Car Charger." According to http://www.touchcentric.com/blog/archives/123, that cable worked for debugging while the VGA adapter was connected. The car charger's long-discontinued, but you can still find them on ebay.

I'd be thinking about grabbing one the next time I need to do some video-out work, but I'll check out the dockStubz approach, too.

It's a USB -> mini USB cable to the dockStubz. The dockStubz is
sandwiched between the iPad (in this case) and the external accessory.
