Is there a comprehensive tutorial for using GapDebug to actually debug a project app? I have it operational but would like to get a deeper understanding of how to use the tool to ‘step through’ an app’s execution. The installation / user guide seems to only cover how to install and then start the tool, not how to actually use it properly..

Thanks

Hi Robert,

Apologies for the following info not being more obvious; will fix this asap.

Background
Rather than attempt to create our own common debugger we chose to implement the very best open-source debugging tools for the Android and iOS platforms. You just can’t beat’em. For Android GapDebug implements the Chrome Developer Tools. For iOS GapDebug uses the Safari WebKit Inspector. I found the following links buried in the user guide (will make it much more obvious asap).

Resources
Please see the following doc for using the debug tools specific to your mobile platform.

Android Debugging
https://developers.google.com/web/tools/chrome-devtools/

iOS Debugging

Ping me ff you have additional thoughts and ideas on how to further improve the learning experience.
