    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"AppController");
    [pool release];
    return retVal;
}

My Project randomly crashed in below code, searched in google and some one suggested to add Exception Breakpoint. I added break point by clicking on source line..Editing breakpoint not allow me to change type. How to add Exception Breakpoint and where to add? (in AppDelegate?

@rptwsthi, yup, after adding exception-breakpoint-in-xcode I got exact line of crash. Its great..why not apple by default enable this in debug mode...:) — iPhoneChip, Jul 23 '13 at 06:43
@iPhoneChip: Probably because it just stops there and doesn't provide the information about the exception. — Rakesh, Jul 23 '13 at 08:13

Follow these steps:

In Xcode move to Breakpoint navigator (use command+8 in Xcode 11)
Click on the + option at the left bottom of the navigator and select Exception breakpoint.

An exception breakpoint will be immediately added to the Breakpoint list in the Breakpoint navigator
you can then edit additional Breakpoint Setting's as shown below.
