I am working on an iPhone app that has a complex way of constructing its views,
I am at a point where some of the UI behavior is not consistent and some UI views are not being presented properly,
without going into a lot of details, I am looking for a way at runtime to find out each and every UI element on the screen, and its location and whatever information I can get about it ( the UI stack, the layering, which UIVIew is on top of what ) is that available to developers/

Thanks.

    In debug console, send recursiveDescription message to your topmost view.

    (lldb) po [self.view recursiveDescription]
(id) $1 = 0x0929f000 <UIView: 0x944be30; frame = (0 20; 320 548); autoresize = RM+BM; layer = <CALayer: 0x944be90>>
   | <UITableView: 0xab02800; frame = (0 0; 320 548); clipsToBounds = YES; autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x9449920>; layer = <CALayer: 0x944bc70>; contentOffset: {0, 0}>
   |    | <UIImageView: 0x944c330; frame = (0 541; 320 7); alpha = 0; opaque = NO; autoresize = TM; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x944c390>>
   |    | <UIImageView: 0x944c440; frame = (313 404; 7 7); alpha = 0; opaque = NO; autoresize = LM; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x944c4e0>>
