For some time now we have been developing a new application for MacOS for creating structure diagrams in chemistry. This application is used to create graphics of chemical structures or reactions for scientific articles, books or online content.
I finally finished first my own software product called Interface Inspector . I wrote the Interface Inspector to debug my own applications during the development to see which are the visible views and their properties. I often have the problem that I don’t know why specific views are not visible or display a wrong content. With this tool I can now inspect the running application and see all necessary information. Moreover I can introspect other applications to see how they manage to build a specific design.
Once in a while I need to know which methods are called in my code. The simplest solution is to add a breakpoint on the function called objc_msgSend. This function is responsible for the call of every method in Objective-C
