* If you are debugging crashes in the engine, you can connect the `LLDB` debugger from `Xcode` by opening `ios/Runner.xcworkspace` and starting the application by clicking the Run button (CMD + R).
* To debug non crashing code, open Xcode with `ios/Runner.xcworkspace`, expand Flutter->Runner->Supporting Files->main.m in the Runner project. Put a breakpoint in main() then set your desired breakpoint in the engine in [lldb](https://lldb.llvm.org/tutorial.html) via `breakpoint set -...`.
* Note that this will set a `$LOCAL_ENGINE` variable in your `Generated.xcconfig` file for the Flutter application. This variable will be set until you run `flutter run` again with either a different `--local-engine` option, or with none at all (which will unset it). This is important to note if you plan to re-run your Flutter `Runner.xcodeproj` directly from Xcode.
