Windows 8 Store - a debugging application downloaded from the store

Question

Is there a way to debug a Windows Store app downloaded from a store? I have the source code from a loaded assembly, but no breakpoints work.

I ask that in-app purchases do not work in a real store, but they work fine in test mode. I need to see that the exception is thrown - it is caught by the application and printed on Debug.WriteLine , but I also do not see it in the console.

Ok, it works if you follow these steps:

 Debug->Debug Installed App Package 

Make sure that "Debug this type of code:" says "Mixed (managed and native)"

As soon as I checked this checkbox, it worked fine, but of course the debugging was pretty slow.

PS - You must also include the symbol files in the original assembly downloaded to the store. This is a good reason to always do this.
