If you have a custom settings bundle then it will disable the debugger after a clean build. I filed this as a bug: https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3891

As a workaround you can set the build action for your settings bundle's Root.plist to None then do a clean build. Once you've done that you can then reenable your Root.plist. It will merge your settings with the debug settings. That will work until you do a clean build again, at which point you will have to again disable your Root.plist and rebuild.
