Xcode results pane missing

My results pane has disappeared in Xcode and I cannot figure out how to bring it back. I am (very) new to Xcode and to Swift. How do I get back the results pane? Thanks!

I am not sure what you mean by results pane. What kind of information do you expect to see in this pane? Is it the output of your code (like the output of print and log statements?) or perhaps the output of build?

Hey Juliette Tworsey,

Are you talking about the Debug area? In the very top right corner of Xcode, there is a set of three buttons with rectangular images. If you click the middle button, with the horizontal bar going across the bottom, it will bring up the Debug area. Here you will be able to view all output.

Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for.

Thanks Steven. I have no problem with opening the debug area. What I can no longer see (in Playgrounds) is the auto output results that appear (or should) just to the right of a function.

Hey, I think you might be thinking of the results pane in Projects, like actual apps, if so, they don't have a results pane, except maybe that one in the debug area (You can view that by doing what Steven said). But it's not like the one in a playground. Hopefully that's what your talking about. If it's the results pane in a playground, it might have been moved over out of your view, or turned off in some setting

Hope that helps

I meant to refer to the results pane in a playground. It disappeared soon after I changed the font size (in preferences) to a larger font size. I am also unable to see my cursor in the playground window as well. Hmmm...

This pane can be "hidden" by resizing it all the way down. Look to the right side of your playground window and move your mouse cursor against the right edge. Then slowly move it in from the right until you see it change to a little icon that shows you can move a divider (looks like a black bar with two arrows pointing out left and right) and then when you see that click and drag to the left resizing your results pane.

Does that work?

This is happening to me to, but trying to resizing it does not help :( Its been on and off.. but for the last few days off at all times.. Iยดve searched online altho, and all I can find is that there is some sort of error in playground when it comes to results pane.. Really bugs me because in most forums it seams like this has been a problem for years..

I hope I'm wrong thou.. Welcome to all suggestions :)

Iยดts still not working at all... I've searched and googled it 1000 times, and read a lot of ways to "fix" it but nothing seams to work... I've also downloaded Xcode after deleting it 3 times now.. last time I installed the new Beta... still does not work.
