How do I attach debugger to a running mobile app (w/o rebuilding)?

here's happens now:

1. launch debug configuration of air mobile app in flash builder 4.7 "standard" packaging ios. app builds, , packages; latter part takes 5 minutes.

2. walk away computer , start making sandwich. mmm, pickles.

3. app installed on device, , fb4.7 shows popup it's waiting connect app.

4. minute or later, popup times-out , fails.

5. return computer sandwich. see debugger has timed out, , curse loudly, spewing chewed pickles across computer , ipad screens.

 

it nice if next steps be:

6. launch app on device, displays "waiting debugger make connection" popup.

7. press "attach debugger" button in fb4.7 , debugger attaches.

8. app runs debugger attached. yay.

 

does button want step #7 exist? there way attach debugger running app, or relaunch app without rebuilding it?

 

instead seems have repeat steps 1-3, except instead of being able stop paying attention during long build, have stare @ progress bar until app build complete, perform step 6 above, , i'm go.

flash builder want, in little different way.

if have not changed code or assets since last debug ipa package generated, flash builder skips packaging , debugs application. is, can launch installed application on device , click debug connect flash builder debugger. way, can debug repeatedly without packaging application every time.
