Android ‘debuggable’ default value

From SDK Tools : ( SDK Tools, Revision 8 (December 2010) )

Support for a true debug build.
Developers no longer need to add the
android:debuggable attribute to the
<application> tag in the manifest —
the build tools add the attribute automatically. In Eclipse/ADT, all
incremental builds are assumed to be
debug builds
, so the tools insert
android:debuggable="true". When
exporting a signed release build,
the tools do not add the attribute
.
In Ant, a ant debug command
automatically inserts the
android:debuggable=”true”
attribute,
while ant release does not. If android:debuggable=”true” is manually
set, then ant release will actually do
a debug build, rather than a release
build.
