I have not seen others having this issue (except for one person, but they were using Flutter). Any print() commands I have don't print anything to the debug area, any suggestions or am I missing something?

Ugh, that was it. I thought there was a line separating the sides. Thank you!

hi,

(perhaps not your issue, but still, FWIW): Xcode 12 has a habit of opening projects with the Debug View at the bottom of the Xcode window showing only the Variables view, but not the Console window. you may need to click on the "Show the Console" button at the bottom, right of the Debug area, or follow the menu choices View --> Debug Area --> Activate Console.

hope that helps,
DMG

My debug console was not printing any information after the 12.0 update. The "View --> Debug Area --> Activate Console" worked for me DelawareMathGuy. Thanks again!

I still don't see any print statements in the debug console :(
Steps

Create a swift iOS project
Activate Debug Console
Run app in Preview mode to trigger the print()

PS When running in the simulator mode(instead of preview), the print() works
