Featured iPhone Development Resources,iOS Programming Tools And Utilities,Objective-C,Open Source iOS Libraries And ToolsPreviously I mentioned an NSObject-category that provides more detailed class introspection when using the po command at the LLDB command prompt.
Here’s a Python based tool from Facebook that adds many different to the debugging console enhancing lldb called Chisel.
Some of the commands that chisel adds include commands for bordering, overlaying a rectangle specific views or layers, commands for hiding views, and view controllers, commands for adding watchpoints on variables or objects.
