I’d really like to get to the bottom of this. FWIW the script that you see in the debugger actually comes over the socket from the app running on the device. As a result there’s really only two things I can think can be happening:

- When the deploy library (Test button) installs the app on the device it is silently failing and then launching the older version. We could rule this out if those of you that see this regularly had some way to know for sure that the new build actually made it to the device. Perhaps a different color background or something?

- The stack that caches object scripts is not being cleaned up properly between debugging sessions. This would mean that you would see the old script but what would be executing would be the new script. One way to test this might be to move a breakpoint statement from one line to another and see what line is highlighted in the debugger.
