Overview

LocalConsole

Welcome to LocalConsole! This Swift Package makes on-device debugging easy with a convenient PiP-style console that can display items in the same way print() will in Xcode. This tool can also dynamically display view frames and restart SpringBoard right from your live app.

Setup

In your Xcode project, navigate to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependancy...
Paste the following into the URL field: https://github.com/duraidabdul/LocalConsole/
Once the package dependancy has been added, import LocalConsole and create an easily accessible global instance of Console.shared.

import LocalConsole

let consoleManager = LCManager.shared

Usage

Once prepared, the localConsole can be used throughout your project.

// Show the console view.
consoleManager.isVisible = true

// Hide the console view.
consoleManager.isVisible = false

// Print items to the console view.
consoleManager.print("Hello, world!")

// Clear console text.
consoleManager.clear()

// Copy console text.
consoleManager.copy()

// Change the console view font size.
consoleManager.fontSize = 5

To-Do

Screen edge console hiding
Make console view reactive to landscape/portrait switch

Comments

No longer visible above presented view controllers

Version 1.11.0 causes the console to no longer sit on top of presented view controllers. Also when you tap the more menu you get:

[Presentation] Presenting view controller <_UIContextMenuActionsOnlyViewController: 0x7fb2bf605470> from detached view controller <LocalConsole.ConsoleViewController: 0x7fb2be27ecb0> is discouraged.

Close console

Hey! Thanks for making this great tool.

Can we have a "Close Console" option (basically setting console.isVisible = false) similar to the "Clear Console" or the ability to add our own options?

"Share Text..." button causes application to crash.

The application crashes when I press the "Share Text..." button.

Input blocked on iPads without home button

When running on an iPad or iPad simulator that has no home button, if LCManager.shared.isVisible is true, all other input seems to be blocked. Touches don't get passed down.

Did a bit of debugging and it seems that when running on an iPad with no home button, the ConsoleWindow hit test will return a View when we're not expecting it to (would be expecting that function to be returning nil).

It's unclear to me why this would behave differently on different iPads, but maybe this makes sense to someone smarter than me?

TabbarController support

Thanks for making this awesome tool!

I use it in a tab bar controller app. Unfortunately when the console is shown the tab bar gets another empty tab added for the console. Probably this window.rootViewController?.addChild(consoleViewController) is the problem.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Ability to specify which features are accessible

Hello! This is such a cool little package thanks for making it.

I was wondering if you've considered making it possible to disable debug features. For example, I don't really want to have user defaults and the restart springboard options available, but show view frames is neat. I'll create a PR for it. :)
