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.
- 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
- download the static library and header for it (latest build: 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];
