What is debugswift?

DebugSwift is a toolkit that gives iOS developers an on-device debugging panel, essentially a swiss-army knife for inspecting and fixing problems in an iPhone or iPad app while it's running. Instead of digging through logs or reconnecting to a computer, a developer can open this panel right on their device to see what's happening under the hood. The toolkit covers a wide range of debugging needs. On the network side, it captures every API request and response, formats JSON for easy reading, and can even modify or mock responses on the fly. For performance, it shows live CPU, memory, and frame rate stats, and it can automatically detect memory leaks. Interface tools let developers overlay alignment grids, inspect the 3D view hierarchy, slow down animations, and visualize when SwiftUI views re-render. It also includes tools to browse the app's local files, inspect databases like SQLite or SwiftData, view UserDefaults and Keychain entries, and simulate push notifications. Developers can add their own custom debug actions, like a button to reset the app, right into the panel. This would be used by iOS developers and QA testers who want to diagnose issues quickly without leaving the app. For example, if an app is running slowly, a developer could open the performance overlay to spot a spike in memory usage. If an API call is returning unexpected data, they could inspect the raw response in the network log. There's also a documentation recorder feature that captures screen interactions with annotated screenshots, useful for filing detailed bug reports. Integration is straightforward: a developer adds it to their Xcode project, calls a setup method in their app's launch code, and a small floating button appears in debug builds. Tapping or shaking the device opens the full debugging panel. The project is designed to only run in debug builds, so it never ships to end users in the App Store version.
