iOS-Hierarchy-Viewer

iOS Hierarchy Viewer allows developers to debug their user interfaces. If there are problems with layout calculations, it will catch them by giving a real time preview of the UIViews hierarchy.

Features

the client is implemented in HTML/JS/CSS. Additional software is not required
preview of device/simulator screen. Can be scaled and/or rotated on demand
debug frames shows the exact UIViews frames
property list shows obj-c properties and their values for selected UIView

Installation

download the static library and header for it (latest build (ver:1.3) LIB,HEADER)
add these files to your project (drag&drop into xCode project)
make sure that you have added “-ObjC -all_load” to “other linker flags” (click at project root element, select “Build settings” tab, search for “other linker flags”)
if you already have JSONKit.m file in your project, please remove it because of linker conflict
launch hierarchy viewer in your code by calling [iOSHierarchyViewer start];. The best place for it is AppDelegate::applicationDidBecomeActive callback
find or get from logs device/simulator ip address and go to ‘http://[ip_address]:9449′ address (Chrome/Firefox only)

- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application
{
    // your stuff
    [iOSHierarchyViewer start];    
}

Changelog:

Version 1.3:

fixed crashes at UITextView:
some properties can be read only from UI thread
some properties ( like 'autocapitalizationType' ) are not KVC compliant.
