    Hi @Kaito,

    We debug plugins locally.
    So development should be run locally using the self-hosted server.
    You can add breakpoints in the plugin code.
    Take a look at the Webhooks example, build and run it (F5) to see it in action. There are build events or post-build actions that automatically run the server with the proper configuration.
    Also, you need to adjust server config and client settings to disable disconnection timeout to make it easier to debug. See the documentation page here.

    Thanks for the guidance,
    However can you provide more detailed version of the instruction that you're referring to? (eg: Upon debugging do I just need the Photon server to be running always when I'm building the plugin?). Sorry totally noob here

    I'll also check on disabling the server timeout. thanks

    UPDATE: I have followed the Webhook project solution settings and it works!
    Thanks again @JohnTube
