Xcode debugger: cmd line application - start with sudo?

Question

I need to debug a command line application with Xcode... and I need to have the debugger launch my app with 'sudo'. How do I tell Xcode to do that?

thx->adv

Answer 1

Running XCode as root is a bad idea.

There is an option for this in XCode (6.2):

• Product -> Scheme -> Edit Scheme
• Select the "Run" configuration
• Change the radio button for "Debug Process As" to "root"
