Xcode 7.3 iOS 8 simulator debug view hierarchy is blank

Question

The debug view hierarchy tool in Xcode 7.3 is only working on iOS 9.3 simulators. When I try using it on iOS 8.2 simulators, the debugging view is a blank white screen. Is anyone else seeing this?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I'm seeing the same thing - just a blank screen when running (in my case) 8.4 simulators, but works fine w/ iOS 9. This is particularly annoying because the problem I'm trying to debug behaves differently under iOS 8!

Answer 2

I'm on Xcode 8.2, but I had this same problem.

I had been using the "Nvidia Web Driver" rather than the OS X Default Graphics Driver. When I switched back to the OSX driver and did a reboot, this feature started working for me again.

Answer 3

If you're using "Nvidia Web Driver" you can use the following kext below.
