Re: trouble debugging input method remotely

I should have been clearer explaining why you need remote debugging. 
The focus while test-typing the input method will be something like 
TextEdit. You cannot be "inside" TextEdit and Xcode at the same time. 
You are either typing in one app or the other.

So the idea is to run the executable on a remote computer, using some 
client (Word / TextEdit, whatever), while running Xcode on the local 
computer to debug. At least, that's how I understand it.

FWIW, I tried simply copying the build folder over to the mirror UNIX 
path on remote (/Users/Shared/<ProjectName> and still got an error.

(following successful authentication)

This GDB was configured as "powerpc-apple-darwin".Architecture of file 
not recognized.
Architecture of file not recognized.
Working directory /Users/Shared/NumberInput0/Debug.
sharedlibrary apply-load-rules all
(gdb) run
Running…
[Switching to process 483 local thread 0x1203]
You can't do that without a process to debug.

I'm wondering about the architecture not being recognized. Is this an 
Intel vs PPC thing or something else? My LOCAL computer is an Intel, 
the REMOTE is a PPC.... Since this was Apple's sample, I'm leaving the 
SDK/target as is since presumably those are the settings they 
used....???
