Hi there, in this lesson you show how to enable the debug preview in live preview panel, but I have two questions.
- the UI changed in latest x code, and even in Xcode menu there is no such debug preview, is now “authomatic” or disappeared?
- it is not clear to me what kind of advantage it should give to me, could you explain it a little more?.
Thanks!

Hi and thank you for your question. Apologies for not replying sooner.
Unfortunately, and per the Apple Forums, it appears this feature has been removed from recent versions of Xcode: Debug Previews | Apple Developer Forums
The recommended approach is to run your app in the simulator for debugging.
To answer your original question, the idea behind this was to easily debug your SwiftUI views without the need to run the app in the simulator.
Hope this helped and thanks for checking out our content
