Reveal is a powerful, smart iOS developer tool that allows you to interact with your apps in fine, visually-stunning detail.
Runtime inspection for iOS apps... Reveal brings the power of tools like Firebug and Web Inspector to iOS developers. See your application's view hierarchy at runtime with advanced 2D and 3D visualisations. Debug view layout and rendering problems in seconds.
Instrument your apps... Simply link your iOS application with the Reveal library, start it up, and you'll be able to see and interact with your application like never before.
See changes, live!... You can edit and modify views in your running application to see the effect immediately. No more recompiling to test simple visual changes.
Focus... View hierarchies can get complex. Simply double click a view to isolate it, and all it's subviews. Use the path bar to navigate up the hierarchy, and use the history buttons to go back to where you've been.
Licenses for Reveal are available at educational, personal, and commercial levels; pricing structure can be found here.
Improvements
Reveal now prefers using Metal over OpenGL for Canvas rendering when running on macOS High Sierra. This significantly improves performance on computers without discrete GPUs.
_UINavigationControllerPaletteClippingView is now included in the list of system views and windows, hidden in Canvas by default.
As always, you can toggle them using Canvas → Display System Windows and Views menu or the corresponding button on the Canvas.
Reveal is now smarter about marking views as “too large” in the Canvas. Size limit has also been raised for apps running in the Simulator.
As a result of this change, if your app’s view hierarchy contains large views, you should see Reveal refusing to load their bitmaps less often.
Horizontal and vertical stack views now have different icons in the Outline view, making it easier to tell them apart.
Inspectors now validate manually entered values for certain attributes (specifically NSLayoutConstraint.priority ) and prevent setting values outside of normal range for those attributes.
Minimum width of Reveal’s windows has been decreased from 1200 to 1080 points to allow use on narrow displays.
Bugs fixed
