## AI overview

This tutorial introduces Super Debugger, a wireless, real-time debugger for exploring and modifying objects in iOS apps. It demonstrates connecting a Mac app to an iOS device or the iOS Simulator over Wi-Fi, sending messages to objects without breakpoints, and changing a view's corner radius interactively.

## Source excerpt

By Jason Brennan LLDB is the current state of the art for iOS debugging, but it's clunky and cumbersome and doesn't work well with objects. It really doesn't feel very different from gdb. It's a solid tool but it requires breakpoints, and although you can integrate with Objective C apps, it's not really built for it. Dealing with objects is cumbersome, and it's hard to see your changes. This is where Super Debugger comes in.
