Xcode 6 to Xcode 11 - Detach the Console/Log Window

Is it possible to detach the console/log window in Xcode 6 to Xcode 9? If so, how do you detach it from the main console, into it's own window?

This question was previously asked for Xcode 4 but the answer doesn't work for Xcode 6 to Xcode 9 -

See the attached screenshot for illustration of the console/log view in question

Solution

  • Well, better late than never....

    I found that I could maneuver and detach the console.

    1. Add new tab.

    2. Name the tab (eg Debugger).

    In the new tab, expand the console so it fills the main window.

    1. Right-click the new tab and select open in new window.

    You'll have to quit Xcode and restart it to maintain the new window, rather than close projects or windows separately.

    Apologize for the delay. Hope this is still useful..

    UPDATE

    1. This still works with Xcode 11.3!
    2. To stop seperating the window : Xcode > Behaviors > Edit Behaviors

    Then set as in the screenshot:
