# Remote iOS Debugger

The Remote iOS Debugger allows for debugging iOS applications directly from IDA.

IDA's iOS debugger acts as a client to Apple's debugserver. So, you must ensure that the debugserver is already installed on your device for the debugger to work.

See: <https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/support/tutorials/ios_debugger_tutorial.pdf>

for a detailed tutorial on getting started with iOS.
