My questions is about Xcode 9 IDE.
For some unknown reason, soon after a debug session is started, Console stops auto scrolling to bottom. It stops somewhere in the middle (see screenshot below).
Is there a way to fix this annoying behaviour?
Step 1- Click in the console pane.
Step 2- Hit 'fn' + "→" (The 'End' shortcut on macOS)

Something changed in Xcode and now every time I run my app it switches tabs to the Issue Navigator automatically. See pic below. How can I stop this from happening?
On the top menu, go to Xcode / Preferences / Behaviors. Then uncheck the option pictured below.
After I open a certain page of my app, it crashes on the simulator, and shows an error "Thread 1: breakpoint 7.3" in Xcode. When I open this page, it won't even call the viewDidLoad() method... My best guess is that the problem arises from the storyboard because I was trying to implement a search bar before I screwed things over and all the code was working fine. Any suggestions would be helpful
You must have set the breakpoint by mistake.
Breakpoints are useful for debugging. But if you dont require it, you can do one of the follwing
1) you can hit Cmd + Y and rerun project, this will deactivate your breakpoints but won't delete it.
2) Or you can go to project navigator, and click breakpoint navigator and delete all breakpoints
3) You can also see the blue mark on the left side of your code (main editor), that is a breakpoint itself, you can click (two finger click) on the blue breakpoint and delete it.
Is it possible to detach the console/log window in Xcode 6 to Xcode 9? If so, how do you detach it from the main console, into it's own window?
This question was previously asked for Xcode 4 but the answer doesn't work for Xcode 6 to Xcode 9 -
Stackoverflow - Same Question for Xcode 4
See the attached screenshot for illustration of the console/log view in question
Well, better late than never....
I found that I could maneuver and detach the console.
Add new tab.
Name the tab (eg Debugger).
In the new tab, expand the console so it fills the main window.
Right-click the new tab and select open in new window.
You'll have to quit Xcode and restart it to maintain the new window, rather than close projects or windows separately.
Apologize for the delay. Hope this is still useful..
UPDATE
This still works with Xcode 11.3!
To stop seperating the window : Xcode > Behaviors > Edit Behaviors
Then set as in the screenshot:
Solution without restarting Xcode. Thank #David DelMonte for illuminating me.
You can change Xcode behaviors configuration to open a new tab named Debugger in a separate window when project start running.
Then expand console view to full window in the debugger tab, Xcode will remember your reforms.
I'm having trouble keeping my debug window open in XCode6. Every time I run the code the debug window disappears. I then have to press CMD SHIFT Y to show it again or use the upper right window icon. How do I make the debugger window stay at all times?
If Paul moves his comment to an answer I'll delete mine and upvote his.
Here was a screenshot I was preparing when he got his comment in:
You want the "show" issue navigator item checked to on.
When I started Xcode I always got a screen that let me choose which project to open, or to start a new project, or a few other options. A few days ago I noticed it had a checkbox that was prechecked that said something like "Always show this screen on startup". Unfortunately, I unchecked it. I thought it would just reopen the last project I was editing but that's not what it does. Now Xcode just launches without opening any window at all so you have to go into its File menu, choose open, and find your project. I want to go back to the previous (default) behavior but I can't find any way to go back.
Does anyone know how to get that opening screen to show again? (It's not in preferences.)
From Xcode 4 and above versions, it's "Window" -> "Welcome to Xcode (⇧⌘1)".
On the older Xcode 3, it's "Help" -> "Welcome to Xcode".
If you want to see the window every time Xcode starts, please tick "Show this window when Xcode launches":
Beware that you need to hover over this window to see this checkbox.
Step 1
Start Xcode, go to the top navigation bar called Window, click on Welcome to Xcode it will show you the project screen:
Step 2
Look at the bottom of the welcome screen, there will be "show this window when Xcode launches", tick it:
