Is it possible to use debugger tools to stop the application directly during the animation process?

Yes, in iOS you can use debugging tools, such as the Xcode Debugger, to stop the application during an animation. To do this:

• Set a breakpoint in the methods that control the animation, such as in completion blocks or delegate methods.
• Use the "Pause" function in the debugger during the animation to freeze the application's state.
• In some cases, you can add a call to debugger() or raise(SIGINT) in the animation code for a programmatic halt.

This allows you to inspect the UI state and variables at the moment of the animation.
