Appium inspector hangs for me with my iOS Native app, can i use some other tool like UI automator in android for identifying iOS Native app elements?

I like the Appium Ruby Console (ARC)

i checked this link: https://saucelabs.com/resources/articles/appium-bootcamp-chapter-2 and i dont think it will solve my original problem.

BTW what about build-in https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/recipes/xcode_help-debugger/using_view_debugger/using_view_debugger.html

do we need source code for this? Or .app file will also work?

source code of what?

i was asking to you use apple debugger, do we need source code of ios native app or just the .app file will be enough.

sorry no idea. BTW while Appium GUI for MAC not available i am using “driver.getPageSource()” to inspect tree for needed element values or identifier.
