Is there a trick to getting Xcode to step into performSelector:?

You can use "tb" to set a temporary breakpoint on that selector, then step over.

Is there not some way to just tell gdb to *actually* step? I just don't understand why it's special.

gdb's "s" requires knowing the function boundaries; you could probably write a script to "si" until it hits symbols it knows.
