iPhone debugging tip - objc_exception_throw

Saw this on a Stanford uni lecture (Number 13), thanks Eddie for the links.

To make debugging your app's easier add a breakpoint in manually which is:

objc_exception_throw

This will catch errors at the point they occur, which makes tracking them down much simpler.

Cheers, Mark
