I have an iOS app developed via React Native running on macOS via Catalyst. It happened that I erroneously pressed something to enable inspection.

The fact is that I cannot remove it. How do I do?

See the screenshot below.

  • It's a really great question, the `react-native-macos` isn't simulator, because the main host OS is macOS so there is no need for any virtual OS/device. It's a pure app. And in the document of `react-native-macos` I cannot find any guidance for debugging. Have you installed the `Flipper`? It's a debugging app. – AmerllicA Aug 29 '23 at 22:35

There are five situations:

  • Physical mobile phone device: You should shake the iPhone/iPad and then a menu will be appeared. Tap on Hide Inspector

  • iOS Simulator: By pressing at the same time ⌘+d or ^+⌘+z you will be able to pop up the menu and tap on the Hide Inspector.

  • Android Emulator: By pressing at the same time ⌘+m the menu will be appeared and it has got the Hide Inspector too.

  • Window native app: To see the developer menu press Ctrl+Shift+D

  • macOS native app: To see the developer menu press ⌘+⇧+D

  • It's the macOS release, is it considered "emulator"? I tried cmd+m but the app goes into the dock. – r4id4 Aug 29 '23 at 20:33
  • `Simulator`: iOS virtual machine, `Emulator`: Android virtual machine. If you do the `⌘`+`m` on a simulator, yes, it will go to the duck. @r4id4 – AmerllicA Aug 29 '23 at 20:36
  • Thanks for the clarification. Tried both cmd+d and ctr+cmd+z and none did anything on the macOS app. I've also tried to delete the derived data, but still inspector is there. – r4id4 Aug 29 '23 at 21:26
  • @r4id4, Do you mean, that by pressing both on Simulator you can't see the menu? – AmerllicA Aug 29 '23 at 21:51
  • Yes but I'm not sure it's a simulator as if it was on iOS. I mean, it's a macOS app that runs in my dock and gets my Apple Id when I sign-in-with-Apple. There is no "Shake device" button, nor it works any of cmd+d or ctrl+cmd+z to trigger the dev menu. @AmerllicA – r4id4 Aug 29 '23 at 22:17
  • @r4id4, Check the new two items. If it doesn't work ping me here, I'll give you another option. – AmerllicA Aug 29 '23 at 22:45
  • Unfortunately, it didn't work, I really hoped so :( @AmerllicA – r4id4 Aug 31 '23 at 20:23
  • @r4id4, A friend on GitHub told me, right click on app and you will be able to bring the developer menu. try it. if it works give me a shout here then I'll add it to my answer – AmerllicA Aug 31 '23 at 22:42
