LayoutInspector
A tool to debug iOS app layouts directly on devices by inspecting layers in 3D and viewing attributes.
What is LayoutInspector?
LayoutInspector is an iOS debugging tool that enables developers to inspect and debug UI layouts directly on devices. It provides 3D visualization of view layers and detailed attribute inspection for each visible element, helping identify layout issues during app development. The tool activates only in DEBUG builds to avoid impacting production releases.
iOS developers working with UIKit who need to debug complex view hierarchies, layout constraints, or visual inconsistencies in their apps, particularly those developing for iOS 11.0 and above.
Developers choose LayoutInspector because it brings powerful layout inspection capabilities directly into the app environment, eliminating the need for external debugging tools. Its conditional activation (DEBUG-only) and multiple trigger options (manual, screenshot, shake) provide flexible, non-intrusive debugging.
