How do you debug UIView? Are you using Debug View Hierarchy in XCode? I made the XRay library to help you debug UIView more conveniently link: https://github.com/ShawnBaek/XRay
Never tried but I seen before https://github.com/willowtreeapps/Hyperion-iOS and https://github.com/isavynskyi/LayoutInspector. There is also one more that is very similar to revealapp that is free, but it felt a bit dodgy so I did not try it. I will edit this post if I can find it again. Other than revealapp there is also Sherlock app, which is very useful as well for simulator debugging.

Add UIView below UISearchController in UINavigationController
I used FLEX to inspect the app, unfortunately this requires a jailbroken device I order to inject into apps and processes other than your own.

PSA: when people post screenshot of Buying / selling GME use fotoforensics.com to check if it’s been edited (using /u/XtraLyf 's post as an example)
There's also other ways to fake screenshots. For example on a jailbroken iPhone using flex you can literally change the content in a UILabel and then take the screenshot. No image editing necessary.

What little dev helper tools do you have integrated in your projects?
I use FLEX to quickly reverse engineer frameworks and debug UI. https://github.com/FLEXTool/FLEX

Capture Websocket Traffic by "Method swizzling" on URLSessionWebsocketTask
This approach is similar to the FLEX library, but it's only for HTTP traffic, not Websocket, and you have to directly inspect your iOS apps.
