The WebKit2 architecture is split over several processes, it really 
depends which one you want to debug.

If you are debugging the UIProcess, you can simply run the embedding 
application from Xcode like any other app.

If you want to debug one of the other processes, the simplest solution 
is to run the app and attach to the process with Xcode (method #2 on the 
page you linked).

That's the basic setup. If you can be more specific about the problem 
you encounter I may be able to give better advices.
