Is there any way that one could extract the information about UI elements (of the UIView) from the application’s memory during runtime of an iOS application (iPhone). Like getting a reference to the current UIView element and find a way to enumerate all UI elements contained in that view and create an abstract graph of the UIView calls of the app dynamically?
Since it looks like you may be interested n some general suggestions, I’ll give you this one: look at DCIntrospect (available on github, with good documentation).
With this open source software, you can examine any item in your UI that subclasses UIView. You can see its many properties in your console.
It is very easy to use. I tried it, and it was a very simple add to my application delegate. To enable it, you press the space bar on your keyboard.
Since it is open source, you can examine the code and see for yourself what UI element properties are available and even make changes yourself.
