Xcode iOS 14 WidgetKit not always attached to debugger

I'm developing WidgetKit extension on iOS 14, however, the extension doesn't always connect to Xcode debugger after build and run, causing I can't see logs, as this image shows: (But sometimes it'll automatically attach, I don't know why)

If the extension is attached to debugger, it should look like this, and print logs:

Manually attach process to debugger doesn't works, it should be attached at first launch to see logs.

Does anyone know how to properly debug iOS 14 widget?

Try plugging in your physical device and running it on that instead of a simulator. That fixed the logging issue for me.

To debug, or see print info: (This works for me)

On the top left of Xcode->
Click project name, you can see a list, select widget name, run it

You can log your useful information in local file, just like this:

public func XXLogToFile(_ text: String) {
    if let documentsDirectory = FileManager().containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "group.xxx") {
        let logFileUrl = documentsDirectory.appendingPathComponent("log.txt")
    
         do {
            var logContent = try String(contentsOf: logFileUrl, encoding: .utf8)
            logContent = (logContent.count > 0 ? "\(logContent)\n\(text)" : text)
            try logContent.write(to: logFileUrl, atomically: false, encoding: .utf8)
        }
        catch {}
    }
}
