Android: how to mark my app as debuggable?

Question

I want to debug my app from my phone. How do I sign my app so I can do this? I don\'t know much about the manifest.

With the new Gradle build system, the recommended way is to assign this in the build types.

In your app module's build.gradle:

android {

    //...

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            debuggable true
        }
        customDebuggableBuildType {
            debuggable true
        }
        release {
            debuggable false
        }
    }

   //...

}
