How to set a conditional breakpoint in Xcode based on an object string property?

Question

I\'m looking to be able to have the debugger break when it reaches a particular string match. As an example, I might have something like this:

Foo myObj = [s

At times when working with Frameworks (debug builds) and need to put a breakpoint in certain file/location that is hard to navigate or isn't exposed publically in framework under development. One option is to write a helper class to trigger conditional breakpoints & make step-in/step-out easier.

- (void)invokeFrameworkMethod {
    ...
    [DebugConditionalBreakPointHelper breakPointCondition:YES comment:@"from invokeFrameworkMethod."];
    ...
}

Header declaration in framework under development.

#import 

@interface DebugConditionalBreakPointHelper : NSObject
+ (void)breakPointCondition:(BOOL)enabled comment:(NSString *)comment;
@end

And implementation file:

#import "DebugConditionalBreakPointHelper.h"

@implementation DebugConditionalBreakPointHelper
+ (void)breakPointCondition:(BOOL)enabled comment:(NSString *)comment {
    if (enabled)
    {
        NSLog(@"Triggerred Conditional Break Point. Comment: %@");
    }
}
@end
