By Richard MallionThe Mac App Store has a debug menu which is disabled by default. You can enable the debug menu, by enabling the ShowDebugMenu key in com.apple.appstore. To do this enter the following command in the terminal.defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boolean YESOnce enabled, there are a number of options to show the folder where apps download, enable logging, clear cookies and reset the Mac App Store.If you want to turn the Mac App Store debug menu back off:defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -boolean NO
The Mac App Store has a debug menu just like the most standard Apple applications in OS X. From this menu you can access various of other options such as deleting cookies or the quick search for updates. Close the Mac App Store app and use the following command in Terminal to enable the debug menu.

The Mac X App Store contains a hidden menu called Debug that provides additional App Store functionality. Most interestingly, you can actually change the App Store GUI using this menu. To enable the App Store Debug menu, follow these steps.
The Debug menu in Safari for macOS is critical for anyone interested in gaining added capabilities. However, you can only enjoy this feature if you see the menu. If you are not seeing the debug menu in Safari for macOS Big Sur (Safari 14+), then you truly have a unique but surmountable problem to contend with.
Fast Refresh is a React Native feature that allows you to get near-instant feedback for changes in your React components. While debugging, it can help to have Fast Refresh enabled. Fast Refresh is enabled by default, and you can toggle "Enable Fast Refresh" in the React Native developer menu. When enabled, most of your edits should be visible within a second or two.
React Native supports a few keyboard shortcuts in the iOS Simulator. They are described below. To enable them on macOS, inside the Simulator app, open the I/O menu, select Keyboard, and make sure that "Connect Hardware Keyboard" is checked.
Reactotron is an open-source desktop app that allows you to inspect Redux or MobX-State-Tree application state as well as view custom logs, run custom commands such as resetting state, store and restore state snapshots, and other helpful debugging features for React Native apps.
Then, open the Office application and sideload your add-in. Right-click the add-in and you should see an Inspect Element option in the context menu. Select that option and it will pop the Inspector, where you can set breakpoints and debug your add-in.
You can attach your code editor to any instance of the Unity Editor or Unity Player on the local network that has debugging enabled. When you attach the debugger, ensure that you attach it to the correct Unity instance. If you know the IP address or machine name of the device on which you are running the Unity Player, this helps to locate the correct instance.
Many devices have multiple network interfaces. For example, a mobile phone might have both an active cellular connection and an active Wi-Fi connection. To properly connect the debugger to the Unity instance using TCP, the IDE needs to make a network connection to the correct interface on the device. If you plan to debug over Wi-Fi, for example, make sure you put the device in airplane mode to disable all other interfaces, then enable Wi-Fi.
When you enable the correct preferences and build options (see Configure the code editor), Unity generates this debugging information automatically. However, Unity cannot generate debugging information for managed plugins in your project. You can only debug code from managed plugins if the associated .pdb files are next to the managed plugins in the Unity project on disk.
Like the normal build and dev processes, building takes some time the first time you run this command but is significantly faster on subsequent runs.The final bundled app has the development console enabled and is placed in src-tauri/target/debug/bundle. 2ff7e9595c
