Question

Whilst developing iOS apps I found using po [[UIWindow keyWindow] recursiveDescription] in the debugger very useful. However, I am wondering whether there is a tool to gracefully represent the output for better readability?

Answer 1

I usually use po but I found this tool awhile ago and meant to try it out but haven’t.

It embeds itself in your app and exposes itself as a little web app so you can view the state of the view hierarchy while you use the app.

EDIT:

Adding sparkinpector which was mentioned in the comments. I checked it out and it seems very cool – especially if you create views programmatically.
