The XR Remote Debugger is an external tool that enables a developer to debug an XR application that is running on a different device or machine. It works both with standard XR and XR Portable platforms.
For example, it is possible to have an application running on an iOS device and debug it from the Windows machine where the project is managed.
The device application uses debug functionalities offered by the RestServer node. For this reason, only projects that have a RestServer node configured with remoteDebug property set to true can be remotely accessed by XR Remote Debugger.
A physical copy of the received log messages is saved in the project file with the remote_engine.log name.
