So debug builds of iOS apps are built with an entitlement that allows the 
debugger to attach to it, and if that entitlement is not present, the debugger 
will not be able to attach (and because we want to prevent something nefarious 
from going on then we kill it.)  That entitlement is absent from release 
builds, which is why you can't debug other people's released apps.  That's the 
only thing I can think of that would make something that can finger-launch die 
when you try to launch it in the debugger.
