@putasm Hey @putasm
We're really sorry about the compatibility issue with iOS 17.4+ that was caused by some Apple API changes. We've been aware and investigating a fix, which has now been released with Sherlock 2.10.0. Thank you for your patience and support, and do update the app.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

Unfortunately due to SwiftUI's declarative nature we're not able to provide the same experience as UIKit based apps. However Sherlock has some great UI framework agnostic features, such as the User Defaults Editor, Resizable Screen, and Open URL. We’ve also got some more coming soon.

Forgot to add a close button to your modal and trapped in a UIViewController forever? Sherlock 2.7.0 surfaces more properties and actions in the newly released Controller tab. Quickly dismiss and pop your views right from Sherlock.

Sherlock 2.6.0 is out today, coming with improvements to Inspector that makes it a breeze to work with Interface Builder.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

@admoxly Hmm, that’s interesting, thanks for providing more details. We’ll investigate this further, and reach out to you via DM with our findings. Thanks for letting us know!

We’ve added Control Bar to Sherlock 2.5.0 today. It docks to your active Simulator and makes it easier to use your favourite tools such as Inspector, Resizable Screen, Open URL and User Defaults Editor.

Sherlock 2.4.0 introduces User Defaults Editor. View and edit your app’s user defaults in real-time. Try inspecting some of Apple’s apps with Sherlock for some fun insights.

@iamtones_ I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing an issue with the Inspector. We have reached out to you via DM to get this issue resolved.

We’ve released Sherlock 2.2.0 which makes it easy to test your Universal Links and custom URL Schemes right from the Simulator. Just hit ⌘ + O from a focused Simulator to check it out.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

@klemendev Unfortunately so. Due to SwiftUI's declarative nature we're not able to provide the same experience as UIKit based apps. Our focus is currently set on building features which are UI framework agnostic, such as the Open URL feature released today.

@putasm Hi, this release includes memory management improvements around Sherlock’s interactions with LLDB, which is where high memory utilisation could happen for some users. This should help but we’re working on more improvements.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

@Urkman Sorry @Urkman , we tried buy-once from 2019 to 2022 but it wasn’t sustainable. Sherlock requires major work to maintain compatibility with updates to Xcode and iOS. Subscriptions support us with this, and helps us release features much more regularly.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

@RustemAqtau We don’t have these hosted publicly at the moment, but you can view the list of changes when you hit ‘Check for updates’ or an update is automatically suggested in app. We’ll add them to the website soon too.

We’ve released Sherlock 2.1.0 which makes it easier to find the right view, searching by memory address.

Thanks to @diegotrevisan90 and @iSapozhnik for the idea. These feature requests are always appreciated.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

@IanFagundes3 @RevolIstanbul Glad to hear Sherlock helps you get to grips with new codebases! We hope you’ll love 2.0.

[Sherlock by InspiredCode @getsherlockapp]

We have a list of enhancements on our roadmap, to make edits easier. An improved Inspector is incoming with Sherlock 2.0 at launch.

@RevolIstanbul All UIKit-based views, whether built programmatically or via Interface Builder

@alokc83 Sherlock lives in your status bar, look for the pipe icon there while it’s running, and you should see it. Let us know if you have any issues.

Sherlock 1.15.0 is now available! We've added support for iPhone 13 simulators and improved compatibility with future versions of macOS
