The article highlights the challenges of making quick UI adjustments in UIKit-based iOS projects, where constant recompilation slows down development. It introduces LLDB as a powerful tool for making real-time updates to the app’s UI while it is running in the iOS Simulator. By explaining how to pause execution with a breakpoint and execute commands via LLDB, developers can modify UI elements effectively. The importance of updating UI components on the main thread is also emphasized to avoid potential runtime issues, presenting LLDB as a practical solution for UIKit projects that haven't transitioned to SwiftUI.
When developing UIKit applications, LLDB allows for real-time updates, streamlining the UI adjustment process without the need to restart the app.
Using LLDB in the iOS Simulator enables developers to make real-time UI changes, a crucial workflow improvement for projects still using UIKit.
Live previews in SwiftUI enhance UI development efficiency, but LLDB serves as a powerful alternative for UIKit projects, facilitating immediate UI updates.
Updating UI elements on the main thread is essential in UIKit to prevent runtime issues, ensuring smooth and stable app performance.
