Need an advice for better debugging experience on VS Code. Here is my debugging experience.

1/ Currently, after a change made, I have to do "restart" debugging. Is there any way not to do "restart" after a change? Is there a livesync watch on debuging? If so, how to set it? 2/ I have never been able to do "attach to the device" even my emulator is running. So I have to do launch on device. I always got error "Connection timeout" from VSCode console. Any idea?

So it is not fun to debug as above both experience take long time. Any

Hi @ryc16

The issue with Connection timeout is documented bug here](https://github.com/NativeScript/nativescript-vscode-extension/issues/46) and a fix is on the way with future release 0.3.

Hi @ryc16

  1. Currently, we have no support for livesyncing and debuging at the same time. The support for this should come in the CLI first, and then in the VS Code. It is in our roadmap.
  2. "Attach on Android Device" is used when trying to attach to physical device. For attaching to emulator, try "Attach on Android Emulator".
