Description

This question is not only related with Toga, but it comes to my mind while I was working on #75, so I put the question here.

I have the feeling that if I were able to debug my app (breakpoints, step by step execution, variable watch, etc.), I would be easy to find the bug. I am not expert on this, but at the end the iOS is executing python and I guess that somehow we can run it in debug mode and we can connect our IDE to the debugger...

I just want to check if this is possible or I am saying something ridiculous :)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by reviewing how Toga apps currently execute Python on iOS and what debugger integration exists; done would require a confirmed feasibility path or a clearly scoped implementation plan for breakpoints, stepping, and variable inspection.
