InAppViewDebugger is a library that implements a view debugger with a 3D snapshot view and a hierarchy view, similar to Reveal and Xcode's own view debugger. The key distinction is, as the project title suggests, that this can be embedded inside the app and used on-device to debug UI issues without needing to be tethered to a computer. 3D snapshot view implemented in SceneKit: Gesture controls for zooming, panning, and rotating. Hierarchy (tree) view that synchronizes its selection with the 3D view: This is a feature I really wanted in Xcode, to be able to visually find a view and see where it is in the hierarchy view. Support for iPad and iPhone: Layouts are designed specifically for each form factor. Extensible: The base implementation supports UIView hierarchies, but this is easily extensible to support any kind of UI framework (e.g. CoreAnimation or SpriteKit)
