How do I debug my mobile app? Is there a debugger for mobile?

Building for mobile comes with its own unique challenges, and debugging in real time is key to scaling confidently. We’ve overhauled the debugger specifically for native mobile apps to help you do exactly that — inspect your app, trace workflows, catch issues, and fine-tune layouts across devices without ever leaving the editor.

  • Inspector mode: Hover to view element properties, dynamic values, and conditions

  • Workflow debugging: Run workflows step-by-step or use action breakpoints to pause at a specific step to catch unexpected behavior early

  • Error and warning panel: Monitor runtime issues as they happen

  • Device previews: Quickly switch between screen sizes to test responsive layouts

  • Persistent debugger panel: Always visible alongside your app during web preview

With the debugger, you can build, test, and iterate — faster.

Get started with the mobile debugger

  1. Open your mobile app in Web Preview from the Bubble editor.

  2. Click the debugger symbol in the upper left corner of the web preview

  3. The debugger panel appears on the right-hand side.

  4. Interact with your app and use the debugger controls to inspect elements, run workflows, and monitor errors.
