Debugging app launched by push notification in Xamarin Studio

Question

Similar to this question: how to debug app when launch by push notification in xcode 5

But for Xamarin Studio, does anyone know how to do it?

I would like the debugger to wait for the app to be launched manually by the user. Is it possible in Xamarin Studio?

Answer 1

There is a way to do that with Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio for Mac.

When debugging on an iOS device, if you use distribution profile, XS/VS4Mac will ask you to launch app manually (since distribution profile does not allow launching applications programmatically).

When VS4Mac will prompt you to start app manually, do not do that and also do not close that dialog.

Instead, send a push notification and then start application by tapping this notification.

Answer 2

No, this is currently not possible in Xamarin Studio.

If you file an enhancement request at http://bugzilla.xamarin.com you'll be notified if/when it's implemented.
