Accessibility Inspector does not work (Developer Tools).

Do you have a problem with Accessibility Inspector? I have reported a bug:


Summary:

Cannot inspect a developed app. The accessibility inspector "Start inspection follow point" (crosshair) button does not work.


Steps to Reproduce:

Launch a simulator. Launch accessibility inspector. Try to select an element inside the simulator.


Expected Results:

An element should be inspected.


Actual Results:

Nothing happens, or accessibility inspector hangs and the simulator quits.


Version/Build:

Xcode: Version 10.0 (10A255)

Accessibility inspector: Version 5.0 (73.25)

macOS Mojave Version 10.14


Do you guys have a solution for that?

I submitted another feedback: FB9110670 "Accessibility Inspector Repeatedly Disconnects from iPhone Preventing Use"
  • I cannot use it on actual apps without frequent disconnects.

  • I can only hover over apps in Simulator using my Mac's All Processes, if I select the simulator it doesn't show highlight's around elements. I can only hover, and then have to watch the inspector properties as they change without size context of the element.
