In the iOS simulator with XCode 5, opening the Accessibility Inspector freezes the simulator. There does not seem to be a way to exit the Accessibility Inspector.
Quitting and reopening the simulator, changing the hardware type, and restarting the computer all do not close the Accessibility Inspector. Any other ideas for fixing the issue?

In the simulated device environment, press the Home button to reveal the Home screen. Open Settings and go to General > Accessibility. Slide the Accessibility Inspector switch control to On. The Accessibility Inspector remains active until you turn it off, even if you quit and restart iOS Simulator.
Accessing the Accessibility InspectorChoose Accessibility in the Tools > Web Developer menu. Select the Accessibility tab in the Developer Tools toolbox. Right-click in the main browser window, and choose Inspect Accessibility Properties in the context menu.
You can turn VoiceOver on/off at any time by triple clicking the home button, but the first time it's a good idea to go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and tap the switch to turn it on. At the same time check that Speak Hints is enabled (it's on by default).
Like all Apple UI frameworks, SwiftUI comes with built-in accessibility support. The framework introspects common elements like navigation views, lists, text fields, sliders, buttons, and so on, and provides basic accessibility labels and values by default.
While not a complete fix for the accessibility inspector, clicking
iOS Simulator -> Reset Content and Settings
will close the inspector.
The freeze will probably be fixed with the official release.
