Ios remote debugger - pro vs home edition

IDA General
1

Hi,
With home edition my only option is to use gdbserver, attach to a process, map the addresses and align(rebase) IDA to match the runtime to IDA. This is extremely time consuming for large binaries with a chance that the app will crash during rebasing time.
The pro version comes with IDA made remote debugger server binary, does it work differently from “3rd party” degugger servers? Will it “just work” or I still need to remap and rebase ida?

Thanks

The target-specific debuggers in IDA Pro are smarter than plain GDB in that they rebase automatically when they detect the matching loaded module in memory. They also provide a better memory map, the list of loaded modules and sometimes extra debug symbols.
