Xcode - Not Showing Output / Printing To Screen

Question

Xcode - Not Showing Output / Printing To Screen

I created a hello world project & it wont show any output at the bottom of the window and I even can't stop running it (although it didn't show any output). Please help me to solve.

I uninstalled & reinstalled it however the error still persists

As you can see in the screenshot, it says the program is running and i just can't get any output from the debugger area. What's more, I can't stop it by pressing the stop button.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

The code looks ok. Have you tried a new project to see if it will work?

If you open the Products folder and double click the file there (the executable) what happens?

BTW the window you have opened at the bottom is the console not the debugging window. The debugging window is on the left hand side,

Thank you for responding 🙂

When i click the files in the product folder it says "No Editor"

I doubled clicked both the the .app & the .xctest files

These are the two screens I followed to create the project

I have created new projects, cleaned projects. I have reinstalled Xcode twice & I have even installed Xcode 4.6 & the problem still exists. I used the same Xcode 4.6 dmg file to install it on a friends computer & output can be created on his.

I currently have OS X Mavericks installed. I didnt use Xcode before I had Mavericks so I dont know if the problem existed before I installed Mavericks. Do you think this is creating the bug?

You need to take a step back and figure what it is you are trying to do.

In your first post and screen shot you are creating a OS X command line project, now you are showing a IOS project. They work differenly, have different files, can't be compared.

So which is it? OS X or IOS?

Then you will need to show your code. The code in your first post is meaningless for IOS.

When you compile and run an IOS program it will run in the simulator.
