You need to recompile/rebuild the app every time you make a change. 
Built apps can't be modified, and that includes the location of the 
breakpoints. That does slow down debuging because you can't move or 
create breakpoints without doing a rebuild, and the scripts are of 
course permanent until the app is recreated.
