Need help with attribute inspector in Xcode 26

Same Question!🙋

but the attribute inspector just does not show up, I can have the simulator open or closed I click on it nothing works.

Can you provide more details about what you are trying to do that doesn't work? What do you mean by attribute inspector?

You mentioned you are learning SwiftUI. The attributes inspector is used with storyboards, which SwiftUI does not use. SwiftUI uses previews to let you see how your user interface looks before you run your app.

Are you trying to open the attributes inspector? Or are you trying to show the SwiftUI preview? Or are you trying to do something else?

I am having the same issue try to follow tutorial Landmarks

I am also having the same issue, following the Landmarks tutorial, section 2, step 2. The only available option that appears is Embed.

"Show SwiftUI Inspector" doesn't appear as an option, the canvas mode has been changed to selectable.

Yes, Attributes Inspector is apparently gone: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/808662?answerId=867740022#867740022

Yes, the SwiftUI Inspector feature was removed in Xcode 26, but there are still ways to get design help from Xcode. With Swift Previews, you can identify UI elements using selectable mode and then ask Xcode Intelligence to make any changes, so you can learn on the go.

This is an unfortunate removal. It was much more user friendly than the new procedure, really circumvoluted.

Looks like Xcode is less and less WYSIWYG.
