About:
Reveal is an advanced in-app iOS debugging tool that allows developers to inspect their application's view hierarchy in real-time. It connects directly to the running app in the simulator or on a device, providing a live 3D view of the UI structure. This enables rapid iteration and debugging of complex layouts without the need for constant recompilation.
Key Features:
  • Live view hierarchy inspection
  • 3D visualizations of UI layers
  • Real-time property editing
  • Xcode and AppCode integration
Use Cases:
  • Debugging complex Auto Layout constraints
  • Inspecting view properties at runtime
  • Identifying rendering performance issues
Alternatives:
  • Xcode View Debugger – Reveal offers a more interactive and persistent live view than the standard Xcode debugger.
  • Flex – Flex is an in-app debugging tool, but Reveal provides a more robust and desktop-centric interface.
