Debugging the native libraries in Android Studio with LLDB

  1. In gradle.properties or in your $HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties file set the following:
mullvad.app.build.keepDebugSymbols=true
mullvad.app.build.replaceRustPathPrefix=false
  1. In Android Studio, go to Run -> Edit configurations...
  2. Make sure the app configuration is selected.
  3. In the Debugger tab, select Dual (Java + Native)
  4. Start debugging the app as usual from Android Studio.
  5. Click the View Breakpoints... icon in the debug view.
  6. Click + -> Symbolic Breakpoints and enter a function name in the Symbol name field.

Android Studio should now break on the function you selected.

NOTE: When running LLDB, Android Studio can sometimes get into a state where it will try to connect to the debugger when running the app normally, which blocks the app from starting. To fix this run adb shell am clear-debug-app.
