Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 32,425 PointsXcode 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!

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.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 32,425 PointsThanks 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.

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

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 32,425 PointsI 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...

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?

Courses Plus Student 1,275 PointsThis 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.. I´ve 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 :)

Courses Plus Student 1,275 PointsI´ts 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.

22,160 PointsI 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?
