Xcode Preview is part of iOS. It usually doesn’t and shouldn’t appear, unless there has been some app testing underway. Based on postings, it sometimes does become visible and that in unclear circumstances.


If it is enabled, turn off Developer Mode, restart theniPhone, and see if the problem persists.
