In Xcode, when I press show assistant editor, nothing appears on that side of the screen. Please help.

I'm running the Xcode 7 beta. Do you think I should downgrade?

That might be your issue. How are you opening it? I found that if you don't open it the way Amit does it wont show anything for me.

Hey Ryan,

With the Xcode 7 Beta the console output has moved to the debug area instead of the assistant editor src = https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/4621

To show this area, click on the small arrow in the bottom left of the window or use the shortcut cmd + shift + y

Using this code from the video I got this result

You can see it is working however you might wish to switch to the xcode on the app store (although its download seems to be broken for me)
